BorderLight International Theatre + Fringe Festival

BorderLight’s mission is to present visionary international theatre and build cross-cultural understanding.

BorderLight launched in 2019 as a biennial summer theatre festival and will return to downtown Cleveland July 22-24, 2021. Under the guidance of public health advisors and regional reopening guidelines, the festival has been redesigned as an outdoor, open-air event to allow for social distancing.

The festival will feature a selection of international touring productions, commissioned collaborations between Cleveland professional theatres and international artists, and a fringe festival programmed through an open call for submissions, featuring all genres of theatrical performance by local and national artists.
