Fringe of Nature May 21, 2010

Non-Eagle Scout Brian Feldman (“Orlando’s greatest living performance artist” Orlando Weekly) takes the Fringe where it’s never gone before, with this overnight primitive camping trip to Wekiwa Springs State Park.

Sponsored by Florida State Parks (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Florida-State-Parks/76856675550 | http://twitter.com/FLStateParks) and Orlando MINI (http://facebook.com/OrlandoMINI | http://twitter.com/OrlandoMINI)

IMPORTANT: Per the Fringe, no one under the age of 21 will be allowed to purchase a ticket to, or attend this event. This is an approx. 17 hour event, departing from the Shakespeare Center lobby. It includes a 13.8-mile car ride from Orlando Loch Haven Park to Wekiwa Springs State Park in Apopka, an approximately 3.5-mile hike to a primitive camping site in a wilderness area (i.e. no vehicle access, facilities, restrooms or showers), overnight camping (in a single tent), followed by a return 3.5-mile hike and 13.8-mile car ride back to Orlando Loch Haven Park in the morning. There may not be cellular phone service at the camp site. Please plan accordingly and take water, a compass, a map and anything else you may need (i.e. sleeping bag, hiking boots). There will be a brief stop at a supermarket on the way to Wekiwa Springs State Park. (Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground is closed from 6/1/2010 to 12/31/2012 due to construction. In other words, this is your last chance to go before the end of the world.)

• The longest event in Orlando Fringe history (17 hours)!
• The most exclusive event in Orlando Fringe history (10 tickets, only 2 per night)!
• The first Orlando Fringe event to involve a car ride (Orlando MINI)!
• The first Orlando Fringe event to take place outside of Orlando (17 miles away in Apopka)!

ORLANDO FRINGE: The longest running US Fringe festival, it is a 12-day-festival that is founded on the concept of offering 100% unjuried, 100% uncensored, 100% accessible theatre, music, dance, art and madness to all types and ages where 100% of the box office ticket sales go directly back to the artists. The mission of the Orlando Fringe is to provide an accessible, affordable outlet that draws diverse elements of the community together and inspires creative excellence through the arts.
