It's mid-August in New York, which means one thing to the discerning theater fan: Fringe Festival 2007. Founded in 1997, the Fringe uses a jury-based selection process to present New Yorkers with over 200 performances from international companies across a range of topics, genres and styles—all at downtown theaters. And at $15 a pop, the prices are pretty downtown, too. Below, we (arbitrarily) highlighted 15 very diverse Fringe presentations worth checking out. – Perrie Samotin, Metromix
