Today kicks off the 2016 Minnesota Fringe Festival - 11 days of over 1,000 performers putting on 168 one-act plays that take over the Twin Cities theater scene. All the shows are chosen by lottery, which makes the Fringe a wonderful, risky and adventurous endeavor to take on as an audience member.

Listen to the audio above to hear an interview with Jeff Larson, executive director of the Fringe, for today's Rock & Roll Lifestyle. To find more information and ticket information, visit the Fringe website.
