The pages of this Web site are taking shape quickly. Each show has its own page on this Web site with show description, genre, warnings, and schedule (when each page is complete). For your convenience, complete pages are identified with a green dot 
on the list of shows (yellow 
means partial content posted; red 
means no content posted yet).
Also, the complete schedule of shows is available in various formats: by date and time, by name of show, or by venue. As the festival approaches, there will also be a plain text version that you can print to your printer, and there will be an Excel spreadsheet version that you can download to your computer and then sort in any way you like, so that you can plan your own itinerary for IndyFringe 2008!
