A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD
OF ENTERTAINMENT
T HE Winnipeg Fringe Theatre
Festival has set a new indoor
attendance record for the 10th
straight year, ending its 28th edition
on Sunday with ticket sales of
108,706.
The 12- day festival saw an increase
in ticket sales of almost 4,000 over
the turnout in 2014. Daily attendance
records were broken on seven of the
12 days with a new high of 237 sellouts.
The 181 theatre companies split
$ 800,142 in box- office revenue.
The kids venue also drew bigger
crowds, racking up total attendance
of 4,640, a 22 per cent jump from
2014. Organizers estimate some
80,000 fringers spent some time
at Old Market Square during the
festival.
The Harry S. Rintoul Award for
best new Manitoba play went to Sydney
Hayduk and Justin Otto for their
two- hander The Manic Pixie Dream
Girl . The other finalists were Leigh
Anne Kehler for Die, Shakespeare
Die , Angie St. Mars and Joanna
Burden for Mars One and Andrew
Lizotte for Revenge of the Meek .
The win caps a charmed season
for Otto, a 2013 University of Winnipeg
grad. The 23- year- old actor
performed in the RMTC Warehouse
season- opener Armstrong's War in
October and then toured it around
rural Manitoba for six weeks starting
in January. He appeared in Theatre
Projects Manitoba's I Dream of
Diese l in April and Bad Jews at Winnipeg
Jewish Theatre the following
month before he and Hayduk hit the
fringe circuit in June, performing in
Montreal and London, Ont., before
returning to Winnipeg. The Manic
Pixie Dream Girl opens at the Calgary
Fringe Festival on Saturday.
Next year's Winnipeg fringe fest
will run July 13- 24.

NEW YORK - Hulk Hogan is taking
to Twitter in the aftermath of World
Wrestling Entertainment Inc. cutting
ties with him amid a report that the
wrestling star used racial slurs in a
conversation captured on a sex tape.
The 61- year- old reached out to his 1.3
million followers in a series of tweets
this weekend, thanking them for their
support and saying he was " overwhelmed
by the love."
" I will prove who I really am," he
wrote in another tweet.
Hogan's publicist confirmed Monday
that Hogan is using his Twitter account
to retweet messages of support and
respond to fans.
WWE has not said why it ended
its relationship with the wrestler. In
announcing the break, the company
said it is " committed to embracing
and celebrating individuals from all
backgrounds as demonstrated by the
diversity of our employees, performers
and fans worldwide."
Hogan apologized for using " offensive
language" Friday but refused to
offer further comment on Monday.
He is currently seeking $ 100 million
from the website Gawker for posting
part of the sex tape of him with
Heather Cole, the ex- wife of Hogan's
one- time friend and radio show host
Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.

OLIVIA, Minn. - Puddle of Mudd
singer Wes Scantlin faces charges of
drunken driving and fleeing police
after a chase in Minnesota that reached
speeds of about 160 km/ h.
Scantlin appeared Monday in
Renville County court on charges of
felony fleeing police in a motor vehicle,
refusing to submit to a chemical test
and driving while impaired. He was
released after posting bail.
The 43- year- old was caught early
Sunday by a sheriff's sergeant. A
preliminary breath test measured his
blood- alcohol content at 0.31 per cent,
nearly four times the legal limit for
driving.
The Star Tribune in Minneapolis
reports Scantlin was performing over
the weekend in Royalton, Minn., about
160 kilometres north from where he
was stopped.
His attorney did not immediately
return a phone message left by The
Associated Press seeking comment on
the allegations.
