Last night was the opening of the St. Lou Fringe, https://www.stlfringe.org/ . Performing arts fringe festivals started in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1947 (https://www.edfringe.com/) and now have local versions around the world.
Our first performance was The Oreo Complex, a powerful one woman show by Lillian Brown about being Black, intelligent and sensitive in white American society. Oreo is a term that plays on the name of the popular cookie, black on the outside and white on the inside. It's a strong metaphor for the experience of many Americans.
