The bulk of the Capital Fringe Festival has come to a close, but there’s still a bit more to enjoy before the month ends. Thirteen of the festival’s 114 shows, including the winners of this year’s fan-voted Audience Awards, have extended their runs with performances today through Sunday at the Logan Fringe Arts Space. Here’s a guide, in order of their first extended run performance — try to squeeze in as many of these fine efforts as you can.

Thursday

Aliens, Nazis and Angels: Few titles are more provocative than the one for this one-woman show, in which Leah Harris recounts stories from spending time with her troubled Jewish family throughout her childhood. The show’s director is Regie Cabico, a spoken word poet who’s been featured on two seasons of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam. The result, according to DC Theatre Scene, is the kind of “small, searching, nakedly personal work” that only Fringe can deliver. July 28 at 6 p.m.

A Midsummer’s Burlesque Dream: A sober retelling of a Shakespeare comedy this is not. “We’ll make fun of and try to get it on with everything — even if it’s nailed down,” the description promises. Surprisingly, the show attempts to remain faithful to the original text, though it succeeds best when it focuses on “lush spectacle,”DC Metro Theater Arts writes. July 28 at 7:45 p.m. and July 30 at 9 p.m.

Play Cupid: No two performances of this unconventional comedy offer the same experience. Five archetypal characters improvise responses to audience queries, then pair up to go on scripted dates as selected by the audience. We had a great time at this show and also found it surprisingly thought-provoking: “a spectacularly deep and varied show, with humor and drama in equal measure.” July 28 at 8 p.m.

Friday

Dark Times at Grimesville High: A gritty look at the cutthroat world of high school hierarchies in this musical, which includes rap battles and old-school choreography. DC Theatre Scene wasn’t completely charmed, but they found plenty to enjoy nonetheless. “Is it perfect?” they wrote. “Nah. And, hey, neither was high school. It deserves an audience larger than the one I joined. And just like high school, you get out of it what you put in.” July 29 at 6 p.m.

The House of Yes: This delicious drama bowled us over with its dazzling performances, witty dialogues, stunning plot twists and macabre atmosphere. We’ll stay mum on the plot for fear of spoilers, but suffice it to say that a troubled family spends a night trapped in their home as a hurricane rages outside, and things. Go. Awry. July 29 at 6 p.m., July 30 at 12:30 p.m. and July 31 at 4:45 p.m.

Let Trump Be Trump: Accepting his Audience Award for Best Comedy on Sunday night, playwright John Krizel looked stunned and stuttered out, “I’m completely blown away.” But our readers won’t be surprised at the honor. Our Seth Rose said the show wildly exceeded his expectations, mixing the expected biting satire with surprising empathy and nuance. “Playwright John Krizel and the whole team should be proud of producing a show that handles a deeply contentious and current topic with such grace and humor,” Rose writes. July 29 at 8:45 p.m.

Saturday

Coping: If you’re looking for a show to “emotionally devastate you in all the best ways,” DC Theatre Scene writes, look no further. The show begins with the suicide of 25 year-old Connor and then examines the fallout from the perspective of his girlfriend, sister, and roommate. It doesn’t sound like light afternoon viewing, but it might be enlightening. July 30 at 12:15 p.m. and 3:15 p.m.

Crazy in America: If recent events in the news have you feeling like the title of this show describes your state of mind, this one-man performance is here to help. Writer-director-star Ron Litman’s “maniacal ravings” make up the entire of this hourlong musical comedy. DC Theatre Scene promises that Litman covers topics from “overmedication to existential crises, and from politics and religion to nutrition and self-empowerment.” Something for everyone. July 30 at 2:30 p.m.

Amelia Earhart…IN SPACE!: The jokes fly faster than the title character’s plane in this wacky science-fiction romp, which imagines and then expands on a bizarre explanation for Earhart’s mysterious disappearance over the Atlantic. Despite some flaws, “this show has charm for days, and injects a spirit of gleeful anarchy into nearly every scene,” we said in our review. And Fringe audiences agreed, voting it into second-place for the festival’s Best Comedy award. July 30 at 2:45 p.m. and July 31 at 9 p.m.

Too Close: This year’s Best Drama winner — “Screw the Oscars!” playwright Luigi Laraia exclaimed upon receiving the honor on Sunday — traps its two main characters in an elevator and then watches as they retreat within themselves to find a means of escape. DC Theatre Scene said they were “delightedly astonished” at the layers of depth beneath the show’s stripped-down surface. July 30 at 4:30 p.m. and July 31 at 6:30 p.m.

SuperNOVA: Here’s a political idea so outlandish it might just seem out of place in the current presidential election: What if an ambitious college student led a campaign for Northern Virginia to secede from the rest of the state? This musical from the Class Act Players plants its tongue firmly in cheek, and DC Theatre Scene says it mostly works. July 30 at 4:45 p.m. and July 31 at 7 p.m.

Rain Follows the Plow: Fifteen of the area’s top folk singers and musicianS come together for this plaintive examination of stories from the Dust Bowl of the 1930s American Midwest in this musical. Upon seeing the show, Broadway World speculated it could have a future and noted that, unlike nearly every other Fringe, “there’s nothing quirky about it.” July 30 at 6:30 p.m. and July 31 at 12:30 p.m.

The Greatest Science Fiction Show (no one’s ever seen): Escape into another world with this comedy about a young woman on the hunt for a long-lost sci-fi TV show. Spoiler alert: She finds more than just a TV show. DC Theatre Scene characterizes the show thusly: “Part love letter to a old-school science fiction, part middle finger to the Sad Puppies of the Hugo awards, and part affection for geek culture.” Sign us up. July 30 at 8 p.m. and July 31 at 4:45 p.m.
