The Fringe Festival starts on July 31. To get you ready, we're giving voice to Commedia Beuaregarde's Christopher O. Kidder, who will be liveblogging the event on-site. Kidder's initial "Fringe By Numbers" post explains his method for picking shows and offers a rundown of the Monday Fringe-For-All, breaking down the good, bad and strange shows. Between Kidder and theater critic Quinton Skinner, we'll be able to hit a wide array of performances at this year's Fringe.
