You can follow the Fringe in many ways, like looking for works-in-progress from actors and directors you know and like. Montreal actor Chris Nachaj can bring up the level of a so-so show and make a good show great. He’s been working on solo pieces recently and the Fringe hosts his latest with Elizabeth Canos’ adaptation, Arthur C. Clarke’s How We Went to Mars, directed by Len Richman.
