We're on for 2022!
The BorderLight Festival features a curated selection of international touring productions, and a Fringe Festival featuring all genres of theatrical performances self-produced by local and national artists. Audiences can expect to experience: Theatre, dance, circus, immersive experiences, puppetry, spoken word, pop-up performances, stand-up comedy and more.
This year's festival will take place from Public Square in downtown Cleveland to Playhouse Square. Under the guidance of public health advisors, BorderLight will follow prevailing CDC guidelines for safely gathering. "Through BorderLight, Cleveland is uniquely positioned to offer best in class theatre and interactive experiences to all people, at the same time supporting our city with great joy, anticipation, and hope," said Heinen.
