The Tvolution.com Medal Count for HFF23

By Ernest Kearney This year, during the HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL, The TVolution & crew saw 81 shows and honestly, I wish we could have seen them all. “Medals” were awarded in one of FOUR categories:

The TVolution Medal Breakdown:

PLATINUM: These were shows that were either the standouts among the standouts, or that were stunningly unique in some way above all others.

GOLD:  These were the shows that didn’t disappoint.  That had content, that connect, that exemplified the spirit of the Fringe or oozed originality.

SILVER: These were the shows that did not lack for solid work or solid performances and that were well worth seeing.

BRONZE: These were the productions that sparkled but could have shined; shows that, whatever their shortcomings, demonstrated promise of better things to come from those creative talents involved.

Out of the 81 shows attended, 44 were conferred Medals. The full reviews for most can be read on TheTVolution.com.
