Twenty years ago, Kevin Boggs left the small Appalachian town of Jonesborough, Tennessee for the big city. His transformation, as he has described it, “from yokel to local” while working at the café Afterwords in Dupont Circle has inspired his new solo Fringe show, & Afterwards, which plays at Warehouse.

Fringe producers sometime ask each other: How big is your audience tonight? For Ali Oliver-Krueger, that’s sort of a trick question. The audience members at shows by Interact, the Wheaton-based children’s story theatre, aren’t big. But they grow up fast.
