Hello, O faithful readers!
We’ve got a ton of delightful things for you in the next few weeks. The Capital Fringe Festival is just a few short weeks away – If you haven’t taken our Politically Fringe-alicious Survey, now would be a great time! As our next X-Play performance draws near, we’ll post the results and provide you with exciting updates from our XX teams. We’ll also keep you in the know about which provocative, hot-button shows to see at Fringe. There are politically fearless and fierce artists, writers, and performers in this city, and you need to know about them!
