Tod Engle (Father Cohan) has been acting since 1968 when he worked with Paul Newman on Rachel, Rachel. Yet, even after countless productions, films, and t.v. series, he is still surprised by what happens at the New York International Fringe Festival after all these years.

When someone finds out you work in theater, they always ask, "How do you memorize all of those lines?" The truth is, everyone has their own process, but somehow it always gets done. Ethan, Tod, and Corey talk about what it's like memorizing lines for the New York International Fringe Festival and a show that included line changes up to opening night!

In the final episode of 'Behind the Fringe' we wanted to give everyone a look at our quick change of set/lights/sound between shows. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew, we were able to get this done in under 15 minutes for every show! Also, since we had more outtakes than we knew what to do with, we tossed those in at the end. Enjoy!
