THEATER: The Capital Fringe Festival kicks off formally tonight. We wish we could give you the inside scoop on what to see first, but it’s the very nature of Fringe’s unjuried, anything goes philosophy that means you just don’t know what you’re going to get until you get there. We’ll have plenty of reviews for you over the course of the festival, which runs through July 27. In the meantime, peruse the schedule for yourself and let us know if you end up seeing anything great.
