The 19th annual Fringe Festival kicks off tonight and will run through September 19th with over 100 performances from international theater troupes and local art-scene movers and shakers alike.

Check out those guides here and here, respectively. And get to know some of our favorite players in this year's festival in our photographic slideshow, here.
