I have to miss most of FringeArts — but you don’t! Here are a few suggestions…

Stephen Frears’ film isn’t a great movie, but it’s a sweet and surprisingly touching one.

Ambiguity surrounds Louis CK’s self-produced Horace and Pete — what is it exactly?

Ray Didinger’s play, a natural fit for Philly sports fans, is always enjoyable, but not often more than that.

Pablo Heras-Casado led a propulsive performance that made a strong case for Beethoven’s problematic opera.

Ginger Dayle’s heartfelt work-in-progress has gotten more attention than perhaps even its creator wants.

Maharaj’s production of Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope opens at Freedom Theatre on Thursday, July 21.
