The Fresh Fruit Festival encompasses theater, performance, poetry, comedy, spoken word, music, dance, visual arts and some talents that defy categorization. Artists come from around the city, nation and, the world presenting work that is fresh, exciting and insightful. Performers of all racial and many ethnic backgrounds, sexuality, and gender orientations fill our stages. Many of the Festival's productions have gone on to commercial runs. Festival performers have been recognized with IT, OOBR, G.L.A.A.D, and Theatermania "Best Documentary" awards. Notably, the work of Lesbian and Transgender artists was represented in proportions more representative of their numbers in the LGBT community than is usually seen in such events. And our audiences are equally diverse. Fresh Fruit has established a community of artists and audiences who connect with each other not only on the personal level (for friends have been made during the Festival itself) but also through our shared mailing lists and our awards for outstanding work in the festival - The Fresh Fruit Awards of Distinction.

We believe the arts bring hope, experience, learning, self-confidence, a means of expression, and a path out of despair.
