Someone left a comment asking if Orlando Fringe should consider jurying because they were unhappy with the outcome of this year's lottery. I don't think we should ask the current Orlando Fringe to change. In so many ways, it works absolutely perfectly, bringing a wonderful blend of the good and bad, the commercial and experimental.
But, there's always room for more. There's nothing stopping a theatre company or an adventurous group of creatives from starting their own juried theatre and arts festival here in Orlando.
In New York City, they have two fringe festivals: a juried and a non-juried. Why couldn't Orlando do the same? Just asking.
In the end, if a juried festival were to get started, it would only serve to benefit the residents and artists of Orlando. The residents would get more performances to attend and the artists would have one more venue to create and produce.
I don't see a downside.
