This year’s fourth annual Capital Fringe Festival, featuring 120 shows running repeatedly over 18 days, includes a dozen or so with gay and lesbian themes, ranging from mild to wild. Among those on tap this year: Brent Stansell’s sexually explicit My Fabulous Gay Sex Life, recounting his local sexual escapades; Kevin Thornton’s semi-autobiographical Sex, Dreams & Self Control, set to an alternative folk-rock score; Beyond Dark Corners from local theater director Terry Sidney and performance artist Christopher Prince, a work of poetry, music and storytelling from a black gay perspective; and the experimental 4.48 Psychosis, a play by the late lesbian Sarah Kane exploring depression and suicide. This year’s festival is concentrated at some 20 venues in the Mount Vernon neighborhood and headquartered at the former A.V. Ristorante Italiano. Now through July 26. Fort Fringe, 607 New York Ave. NW. Single tickets are $15; festival passes are $50-$300. Call 866-811-4111 or visit www.capitalfringe.org.
