So, there’s this big ass festival happening. And while it’s lovely to imagine fringe arts springing from beneath the pavement like proverbial shrubbery, there are actually behind-the-scenes peeps keeping it all chugging along.

NB: am unaware of any proverb referring to shrubbery, I just like both “proverbial” and “shrubbery” and once I’d put them together in a sentence I wasn’t willing to let go…

Anyway, enough about me…

Meet Meryl Rogers.


1. Who are you and what do you do with the Sydney Fringe?

Meryl Rogers, General Manager – Lately I seem to be generally managing a lot of Fringe programs and Fringe banners!

2. When in your life have you felt like a black sheep?

Always!

3. Which show are you most excited about seeing in Sydney Fringe and why?

I am excited about the whole idea of the Fringe  and lining up as many shows as possible to see.

Already on my dance card:  Mrs Bang (sexiest person in the Fringe according to our Technical Director, Andy), Monica Goes to Rehab, (great tunes) Havana Harlem, (who could resist anything with Cuba in it), Careers for Attractive Ladies (because it’s about London in the 70’s) and that is just the beginning.
