Help Antonio Garza Take "Men in Uniform" to Arizona
(Read the Gambit Article Men in Uniform - Gambit, June 24, 2010 - Antonio Garza, New Orleans Fringe, FATI and "How can we nurture the arts in a more powerful way?", by Jennifer Kilbourne) Antonio first performed "Men in Uniform" at the 2008 New Orleans Fringe Festival. The Fringe Alternative Theater Incubator (FATI) is now helping Antonio take it on the road as he head from Phoenix into the Arizona hinterlands to perform wherever he can – at cafes, bars or churches. Support Antonio's ride with an online donation (all donations will go directly to his project) 2009 Fringe ReportIn 2009, we thought a lot about how the Fringe can create more opportunities like the Festival and how we can get more people involved in Fringe. So we created a vision that embraces the Fringe Festival and takes it further: the Fringe Alternative Theater Incubator efforts (FATI for short), a year-round effort to catalyze innovative, challenging, excellent original theater, with the Festival as the flagship event. In this report, we talk about the 2009 Festival and our initial FATI efforts. We reflect on what went well, how we can improve, and where we are headed in the future. Click here to read all about it. The Buzz
Tell me more about Fringe...The Festival is a forum for emerging and established performing artists to do their creative thing -- whatever it is -- at an annual multi-day, multi-venue event that is affordable and accessible to the community. The Festival provides the venue and the audience; the performers do the rest. Anything can be performed: we let the audiences decide what is excellent, astonishing or brilliantly insane. Get all the details in our 2008 Festival Report. Festival News

In August, Antonio Garza will travel through the blazing Arizona heat with his one-man show "Men in Uniform" to tell Arizonans what it is like to grow up hassled by authorities who did not think he looked American enough. His idea? Turn up the heat on Arizona’s new law, SB1070, which makes it legal for police to demand “documents” of anybody they think might be an illegal immigrant.
