Want to try out the Fringe Festival this year, but don't know where to start?
Well then you'll want to listen to Tom Crann's conversation with Caroline Toll and Nick Vetter.
Caroline Toll and Nick Vetter chat with fellow Fringe Festival attendees, including Stuart Holland, at the University of Minnesota Rarig Center in Minneapolis, Minn.

Toll and Vetter are hard-core Fringe-goers. They met at the Fringe, and gave out custom Fringe Festival buttons to guests at their wedding.
As festival veterans, Toll and Vetter have planned an ambitious schedule at this year's performing arts showcase. One strategy they use is to front load their schedule with shows they're fairly confident will be a hit (That's where experience comes in handy).
