MORE THAN 600+ INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES INVOLVING OVER 200 COMPANIES IN A BUNCH OF VENUES, LOCATED ALL AROUND THE DISTRICT (BUT MAINLY AROUND FORT FRINGE)…

Naturally you’re going to need some guidance.

The Capital Fringe Festival is currently underway!  Sure, you’ve come to our SANS POOL PARTY to show your support, read our 2011 FRINGE SURVIVAL GUIDE and perhaps started to stretch so you could see it all in 15 minutes…. but the real question is, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SEE?!  Well, we at BYT have put the interns to work and had them select a few shows that caught their eye.  Here’s what we recommend this week:
