Theater Offensive’s 17th annual Out on the Edge Festival puts the emphasis on “out.” Cast a queer eye on the Boston Center for the Arts (527 Tremont Street, Boston, 617.426.5003), where this year’s lineup is a colorful array of productions including dramas, political skewering a-plenty, comedy, camp, pathos, poetry, and, of course, a capella drag queens. You’ll find repeat offenders, like Nut/Cracked (think: Tchaikovsky in P-town), and New England premieres, like the sequin-encrusted Varla Jean Merman Loves a Foreign Tongue.
