TERRY NEWBY

It is with great sadness that the Fringe family learned that Terry Newby passed away recently.

On behalf of the board, staff, patrons and artists of Orlando Fringe- we all express our deepest sympathies to Albert and Terry's family and closest friends. Terry volunteered countless hours for the festival, patronized numerous shows, photo archived for several years and he and his partner Albert were billets for many of our artists.
