Fringe show

Actually, the fringe show is not new. Back in 1994, when I was an acting intern, the intern showcase was The Witch, an English drama by Thomas Middleton, one of Shakespeare's contemporaries. I can't remember if there was an intern show in 1992, when I was a stagehand. It wasn't called the "fringe show" at that time, but the concept was the same. However, I don't know if this tradition continued uninterrupted to the present day or not. Still, I'd wager that there have been far more than four fringe shows, whether they were called that or something else. --GentlemanGhost 17:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When I was an intern, in 1999, the fringe show didn't exist; we did a bunch of unconnected scenes from Shakespeare, set all around the Performing Arts complex. I'm jealous the current crop of interns gets to work on a full show, but it's also a heck of a lot more work than a scene. --DoomMunky 00:58, 15 August 2008

Reviews, etc.

Shakespeare Santa Cruz's website has links to a number of reviews. [1] This might be helpful to confirm notability (not that anyone has questioned it thus far) and also to add refs to bring the article quality up to a higher level. Cheers, GentlemanGhost (talk) 23:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Santa Cruz Shakespeare: separate article?

The theatre's direct affiliation with the college ended in 2013. Moreover, that was technically the end of Shakespeare Santa Cruz. However, they raised enough money through crowd-funding to carry on as a new entity, independent of state funding. Originally called Shakespeare Play On, they now will be known as Santa Cruz Shakespeare. I'm unsure whether to start a new article for the new company or to keep adding to this one. I've tried to think of comparable examples of entities which have transformed not just in name but at some fundamental level. The best comparison I can think of is Jefferson Airplane turning into Jefferson Starship. Since those two entities have separate articles, even though there is some continuity between them, I think I will be bold and create a separate article for Santa Cruz Shakespeare. But, if someone else wants to revert that and merge the two articles, I'm open to that. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 20:01, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
