The Louisville Fringe Festival, last Wednesday through Sunday at Planet of the Tapes and Mile Wide Beer Co., showcased alternative theater in Derby City.

We saw dancing, comedy and full-on theatrical productions. Here's a taste, from photographer and the Fringe's Director of Development Jon Cherry.
