Out of nearly 90 shows in this year’s Capital Fringe Festival, 5 captured Audience Awards, as announced Monday, July 24. And a total of 16 shows got coveted extensions because they became so popular.

Extension performances run Thursday, July 27, through Sunday, July 30. So if you missed any of these Fringe faves, now’s your chance to catch them. And to keep traipsing around simple, they’ll all be performed in one of two places easy walking distance from each other: Logan Fringe Art Space or Atlas Performing Arts Center.
