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.
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.
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.
GS-14 returns for the third year in a row to the Capital Fringe Festival — but it doesn’t seem like anything has changed.
Ever wondered what it’s like to get rickrolled in real life? Then come see this play!
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.
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.
F#@king Up Everything quickly proves it is more than just a lineup of Williamsburg references set to music.
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.
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.
