‘13 FRUITCAKES’ (June 13-16) What do Virginia Woolf, Dong Xian and Tchaikovsky have in common? They’re among the famous figures featured in “13 Fruitcakes,” a series of short staged musical vignettes focusing on prominent L.G.B.T.Q. personalities in history. A drag queen named Orlando — taken from Virginia Woolf’s novel of the same name — narrates the show, which includes music, sung in multiple languages, based on poems by queer writers such as Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman.
