We at BYT are huge fans of the Capital Fringe Festival (see here and here and good lord knows there’s more…)and wouldn’t you know it… it’s that time of the year again! From July 7th-July 24, adventurous audiences will be treated to hundreds of performances by exploratory artists who endeavor in creative, cutting-edge, and contemporary performance all over the city. Plus this year we’re throwing a sweet SANS POOL PARTY to support Capital Fringe this Thursday (YOU. SHOULD. NOT. MISS. THIS)! But in case if you need more convincing to get on the Cap Fringe band wagon, we’ve got a Foh-ty Pass (Retail value: $60!) up for grabs. This flexible pass will get you four tickets to any festival production you want. Four people can go to one show, two people can go to two shows, and so on…
So many of Capital Fringe’s performances this year use the word “Fuck” in their title, TO WIN THIS MOST EXCELLENT SHOW PACKAGE tell us what you’d title your play (and what it would be about). The more hilarious/creative/clever the better. We’ll pick a winner just before our party on Thursday.
Tickets for all Capital Fringe events are available now. Check out www.capitalfringe.org for more info!

My play would be titled “District of Youth” a play based upon an urban teenager’s upbringing near the D.C. line. She doesn’t understand the impact or the unnaturalness of her childhood until she sees the kind of life experienced by upper class children in suburban neighborhoods. What seemed like everyday occurrences… Playing with a fellow neighborhood child who is blind and deaf after having a bullet strike him through his head as a baby, the stabbing of well known church going woman, hiding underneath the tables and against the dirty floor from stray bullets… was really a crisis she faced in her everyday life. This play will highlight the forgotten residents on D.C.- the children in low income neighborhoods and how making families and children aware of a better option will bring change.
