Photos: At the East End Fringe Fest

The first East End Fringe Festival continues this week, with Project Poetry: Readings by Both New and Notable Poets tonight and performances of several exciting new shows over the course of the week ahead at Riverhead’s Vail-Leavitt Music Hall.
The plays cover topics ranging from stardom and addiction to the idea of meritocracy to Alzheimer’s Disease to a comical side effect of the use of Viagra.
“It was a very interesting spread. Some were challenging, nothing was conventional, and they explore different topics, from health to religion to sexuality and addiction,” said festival co-organizer Debbie Slevin in a mid-June interview with The Beacon.
Each playwright whose work was selected has been tasked with bringing their own director, cast and limited set to the theater.
