Thursday marks Day One of the Minnesota Fringe Festival!

• The annual independent theater and performing arts fest is hosting 100+ shows across a multitude of genres from August 5-15.

Details: The shows, all typically under 60 minutes, are primarily virtual this year. But there will be roughly a dozen in-person performances throughout the Twin Cities.

How it works: To attend, you'll need to buy a $5 button, which will give you access to purchase tickets and watch virtual shows.

• Producers receive 65% of the ticket sales.
