You've ventured into non-air conditioned theaters. You've read our reviews. And now, weeks later, the Capital Fringe Festival is coming to a close. But if you've still got Fringe Fever, take note: several plays we caught along the way still have remaining performances tonight or this weekend. Here's our rundown. more ›

There is a slice of the population who believes that all improv theater is irredeemably awful. However, if you're interested to see how the actors interpret your iTunes library, go see The Audio Files. more ›

In Illuminate: A Martial Arts Experience, Johnny Shryock, an experienced local photographer, sound and set designer, has taken his theatrical background and combined it with his passion for the martial arts. more ›

GS-14 returns for the third year in a row to the Capital Fringe Festival -- but it doesn't seem like anything has changed. more ›

Ever wondered what it's like to get rickrolled in real life? Then come see this play! more ›

Fringe is not only about what shows are the most entertaining -- it's about allowing artists to take risks, try something new, experiment. A Wild Play provides an edgy and complex concept and thought provoking production. more ›

It seems unfair to consider Who’s Your Baghdaddy? or How I Started the Iraq War as part of the Fringe festival, since the production values are at a professional level. Then again, the show does depict the Deputy Director of the CIA as the Pope, so maybe it fits in Fringe, after all. Especially because it’s just plain fun. more ›

F#@king Up Everything quickly proves it is more than just a lineup of Williamsburg references set to music. more ›

Rock and roll and outer space make for not-so-strange bedfellows. If it worked for Bowie and Major Tom, it can work for When E.T. Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, right? more ›

Ancient Greek plays. I find them a bit uninteresting and dated as a whole. They're so 2,500 years ago. Dress 'em up with a gimmick or two, some cute songs, a pair of boobs, gay and straight cavorting, and Batman underwear (what!?), and you add a little excitement to the proceedings. more ›

John Feffer is a bona fide Capital Fringe star, and he's back for the third year in a row with The Bird, his latest solo show, spinning a variety of yarns into a profound and entertaining fabric. more ›

The participatory nature of The Foo Fah Show keeps its audience on its toes, ready for their individually assigned lines. That aspect is vital, as otherwise they'd be less inclined to hang around to find out what happens. more ›

A Day at the Museum embodies the spirit of Fringe because chances are it's not like anything you've seen before. It's a classy, tasteful, and polished experiment. more ›

Night Sky might be the least Fringe-y show ever put on at Capital Fringe. It's a straight play -- fourth wall resolutely in place -- about the drama between a stubborn and lively older woman and the people close to her over, deciding whether she is going to be put into a nursing home or boldly strike out to get a mortgage and stay independent. more ›

Karim Muasher and Carrie Brown have the comfortable camaraderie, polished stage presence and patiently-honed wackiness typical of Fringe festival circuit regulars. Their well-traveled The VindleVoss Family Circus Spectacular! is a pleasant road-tested little package of offbeat clowning with just a touch of poignancy. more ›

The Pointless Theatre Company's Super Spectacular Dada Adventures of Hugo Ball comes with its own critics, blindly pro and dismissively con. In fact, it comes with practically everything, and an irreverence for same. It's vulgar, absurd and, finally, celebratory. more ›

There are only two ways to engage with CRAVE. Either you set yourself at an appreciative distance, admire the passionate efforts of the actors and then walk out at the end as if you had just watched a well-performed string quartet, your day proceeding as normal. Or you can connect to it, and be deeply affected. more ›

Rabindranath Tagore's play, Sanyasi, currently running at the Capital Fringe Festival, is a satisfying exploration of spirituality and societal bonds. more ›

After debuting Give Them Vagina at last year's Capital Fringe -- wait, how did DCist miss that one? -- Vijai Nathan returns to her roots in 2011 with Good Girls Don't, But Indian Girls Do. more ›

My Name is Pablo Picasso technically has a twist, but it's so standard and obvious that you may guess it from this review alone. The twist isn't the selling point; the engaging debate that ensues is. more ›

To spend An Hour With Ken Johnson, Laura Zam dons a men's suit and a mop of black hair. She twists her tongue to speak in an Alabama twang. She's pitch perfect as she channels the hackneyed advice of a second-rate motivational speaker. more ›

The first week of the Capital Fringe Festival is nearly in the books, and DCist's Fringe brigade has been working hard to keep you in the know about a variety of shows. Be sure to check out all our 2011 Fringe coverage here. more ›

UPheaval: fearless, talented and extremely lithe air-dancers from the DC Aerial Collective do their thing. What more do you need to know? more ›

The Loose Ends Theatre Collective's Moby Dick, An Adaptation for Theatre, efficiently condenses Herman Melville's 200,000-plus words into ninety minutes of compelling theatre. more ›

Who are you? Who should you be friends with? Who is your soulmate? These are some questions that Pepys, Inc. aims to answer as it launches e-Geaux, an app that analyzes your Facebook data. more ›

Look, ma, they made The Oregon Trail: The Generational-Touchstone Computer Game into The Oregon Trail: Quest for the West!: The Musical! Too bad it somehow doesn't quite deliver on its delirious promise. more ›

Initially wooed by the idea of adorable sea creature puppets singing and swearing about their life in an "upscale restaurant fish tank" in Nice-eeNice Production's Pascal's Aquarium, one quickly longs for the YouTube kitten videos at home, which are at least upfront about their adorable meaninglessness. more ›

Embodying Poe is a refreshingly simple production devoid of any gimmicks or shock value -- it's all about the language. more ›

The seven actresses enter the stage dressed all in white. And, as they speak to each other of first loves, of dancing, they dress each other and themselves in single shades, a yellow bracelet for one, a green necklace for another. A few minutes later, the Lady in Orange comes back with full-color costume, and all the colors fill in, vividly. more ›

Assembly Required: Comedy A to Y is an easy check in the "Worth Your Money" column for the Fringe Festival. more ›
