This is my favorite time of year, welcoming 

yet another fantastic week 

of Fringe! This grassroots movement 

that started in Edinburgh, Scotland in 

1947 has spread across the world, 

creating an outlet to celebrate artistic 

expression. 2010 marks the SIXTH 

year of Fringe in Kansas City. Our 

goal is to engage the community in 

the heart and soul of human culture 

— creativity and artistic expression. 

The Fringe allows artists to present 

their work in a truly creative and 

free environment. 

I am so excited to welcome 126 artist 

entries from around the world to 

Kansas City. The Fringe team has taken 

steps to make this year’s festival 

more accessible than ever. With new 

venues, entertainment for the whole family, and many more shows, Fringe 

is more vibrant than ever. This is the “must do” event of the summer. 

I want to thank the venues who have opened their doors to us, the production 

staff, tech crews, box office volunteers and especially the volunteer 

Committee of Operations. This event couldn’t happen without them, nor 

could it happen without you. Most of all, I want to thank all the artists. 

Without their willingness to participate none of this would happen. And 

I know they would like me to thank you, the audience, for giving them a 

chance to hear ‘their voice’. 

Treat yourself. Take a chance and try something new and unexpected. 

Wishing you the best Fringe ever. — Cheryl Kimmi

WHAT’S THE FRINGE?

HOW TO FRINGE 

STEP 1: BUY A BUTTON 

The Fringe Button provides access to every event at 

this year’s Fringe Festival. With your $5 Fringe Button, 

you can purchase tickets to any Fringe show and 

gain entrance to free events at Fringe Central. 

STEP 2: GET A TICKET 

Whatever your style there’s a show for you. Ticket 

prices vary per event, and can be purchased at the 

venues 30 minutes prior to showtime. Advance ticket 

sales are available online at www.kcfringe.org, at 

Fringe Central, and at the Fringe 411 Ticket Booth 

in Crown Center. We accept most major credit cards 

and good hard cash; no personal checks please. 

Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Oh, and no 

refunds after the show begins, and no late seating. 

STEP 3: GET FRINGY! 

If you have questions call us at 816-359-9195. 

FRINGE FOR FREE 

FRINGE 411 

While you can get show tickets at the venues, the Fringe 

411 ticket booth is your one-stop shopping for tickets, 

programs, show information, T-shirts, and more. It’s 

located in the first floor atrium of Crown Center near 

the main entrance. The hours are as follows: 

Noon - 4 pm: Sat July 24 - Sun July 25 

Noon - 6 pm: Mon July 26 - Wed July 28 

Noon - 9 pm: Thr July 29 - Sat July 31

BUTTON DISCOUNTS 

The following Fringe friendly businesses offer discounts 

if you show them your Fringe Button:

Vulcan’s Forge, 3937 Washington, 20% off any item 

Volunteers are the cornerstone of the KC Fringe Festival. Each year the efforts of our volunteers are integral 

to the success of the Fringe. Volunteers assist with selling merchandise and concessions, operating our info and 

ticket booths at Fringe 411 in Crown Center and Fringe Central, running the various theatrical venues, and in 

many other capacities. 

Volunteer shifts are arranged in four-hour blocks. All volunteers are asked to volunteer for at least 1 shift, and attend 

a prefestival training session. You can volunteer for as many shifts as you like, but take time to enjoy some of the 

performances as well. During your shift we ask that you do not sit in on the performances, but return at a later 

time to participate in the shows. For every hour of time you donate to the festival, you will earn Fringe Bucks, 

good to exchange for Fringe Festival show tickets, and Fringe Festival merchandise. They can also be used during 

a Silent Auction held at our Volunteer Appreciation Party in Mid-August. 

For more information about volunteering just email Christa Danner at volunteers@kcfringe.org.

and its image chase each other. Both 

take turns placing itself as a model.

Kick off your Fringe Fashion week on Saturday,

Hosted by Katie Gilchrist, the Trunk Show 

features a runway with DJ Leo and a few 

Fringe teasers. You’ll also have an opportunity

A cash bar will be available. 

CHERYL EVE 

Jewelry and fashion can function as a material 

reflection of a society. With the use of fabric and 

metal, Cheryl questions the traditional concepts 

of wear ability and the connections between apparel, 

jewelry and the skin. The body works as a 

site of display. The metal is laminated directly to 

the skin, a three-dimensional canvas, holding the 

clothing in place. This symbiotic relation between 

the metal and the fabric become reminiscent to 

the site for them to be fully understood. Artist 

Edward Steichen has raised questions and/or 

awareness about significant cultural issues 

considering decadence and extravagance as 

a conceptual project. Cheryl, as well, wants the 

wearer to fall into a self-indulgent state, as the 

jewels become part of the body and the outfit. 

With her collection “Impressions,” Cheryl questions 

the possibilities of adornment on the body, 

boldness and what the future of fashion holds in 

our cosmopolitan time. 

ERICA SWORD 

Erica’s collection is called Ascension Thread. Each 

piece of Ascension Thread evolves from found 

object, mythic stories, and that which is unnamed 

but running through us all. This year’s collection 

is ethereal and utilitarian at the same time. 

GREENING X CHANGE 

Greening X-Change was created as a way to 

creatively reuse and repurpose commonly discarded 

items. We give life to old clothes, pop 

bottles, jewelry, bags, and anything else with an 

interesting shape or texture. The finished products 

range from romantic dresses, skirts and tops to 

tailored asymmetrical vests and halters. Attention 

to detail is very important. Pieces incorporate 

custom stitching, ruching, hand embroidery and 

unique screen printed designs. Even though their 

clothing incorporates nontraditional materials, 

style and beauty are not sacrificed. 

HOUSE OF COCHON 

House of Cochon is a local accessories design 

company owned by Courtney Perry. Courtney 

works in many mediums, but this year has chosen 

to develop her Fringe line from the hard lines 

of leather and crystals, balancing their edge 

with soft lines in the dresses. Courtney is also 

the fashion show coordinator and would like to 

thank her friends, family and everyone involved 

in Fringe for their love and support. 

JESSY BERGMANN 

Jessy’s design philosophy is that of manipulating 

fabric and making it its own skin. She feels 

that the manipulation of fabric which encompasses 

the techniques of pleating, gathering, 

ruffling or embroidery make her yearn for this 

new texture which is created in the process, not 

only enjoyed by the sense of touch but also 

the sense of sight. The idea and use of color 

is very soothing. She tends to have somewhat 

of a “whimsical” perspective while creating/ 

designing the garments. The individual whom 

she designs for is that of an “adventurous” 

younger woman. While some of the designs 

might be more everyday wear others tend to 

be for a unique encounter. 

KASHOLM 

Kasholm’s design philosophy starts with think of 

what is flattering, then what is the best asset 

to be shown and design from those to point of 

views. After that part is together the focus is 

on fit and individuality. 

KENDALL HERRING 

Kendall is currently a student at the University 

of Wisconsin majoring in Apparel Design & 

Development. He is a Kansas City native, and 

wants to thank his friends & family for supporting 

him. He lives by the motto “I don’t design 

clothes, I design my destiny.” 

PROSE…BOUTIQUE 

Prose…boutique celebrates the cyclical nature 

of fashion. Our specialty is retro and vintage 

clothing and accessories to be reinvented and 

made relevant for the modern woman and man. 

Wearing vintage fashion is not about costume; 

it’s about classics. It’s about a fresh take on an 

old standard. Prose... houses new collections 

from local designers like Queen’s Rocket by 

Jon Fulton Adams and original art from local 

artists like Alex Espy. These new designs have a 

modern sensibility with a quality that will stand 

the test of time. Moving in a circle doesn’t have 

to mean tracing the same path over and over 

again. It means constantly moving forward and 

reinventing the path every time. 

LEE SATTERWHITE 

Lee is a local designer whose Fringe collection 

this year is a modern take on the past, with a 

wink and a nudge to the 20’s and 40’s style 

which inspires her work. 

WM COUTURE 

WM Couture is locally owned and produced 

by Wendy McMillian, an ISU graduate with a 

degree in Apparel Design. Her background is 

extensive in the bridal industry. Working for a 

wedding gown designer on the east coast she 

has developed a keen sense of design, pattern 

making and construction skills, and the meticulous 

attention to detail that is necessary for the bridal 

industry. Wendy now specializes in special occasion 

dresses and has been producing the WM 

Couture Collection for the past 3 years.

is $20 and will be at the

everything turned out to be ‘just so’. Reminiscent 

of radio theatre, actors add musical instruments 

and Foley devices to their own voices in bringing 

the story to life. G

most outrageous situations, the most wicked double-entendres, 

and the most delicious sonorous 

soliloquies ever to emerge from Shakespeare’s 

pen! Lot O’ Shakespeare features 38 monologues 

chosen entirely at random by the spinning of a 

Bingo cage! The audience plays along on their 

individual “IAGO” cards, and the first to match 

four play titles in a row wins a t-shirt. PG
