The Carnival of Convenient Truths Created By: Paul Ellis. Fri Oct 16, 2026 - Sun Oct 18, 2026. ADS Courtyard 105 Ann St. Newburgh, New York, 12550. Part of Newburgh Fringe Festival! The Carnival Of Convenient Truths is an actual carnival that asks audiences to play the rigged games. The games represent our life challenges living in a rigged society in the twenty first century. Actors will engage the players as carnival barkers leading them through a system they can’t win. And at the end they all get a prize for participating.
