BorderLight International Theatre + Fringe Festival bringing more than 140 performances to Cleveland
<p>Living abroad inspired <a href="https://www.borderlightcle.org/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">BorderLight International Theatre + Fringe Festival</a> Acting Executive Director Dale Heinen to launch the European-style fest in Cleveland.</p>
<p>“I was exposed to festivals in Europe, and really wanted to bring that model here,” says Heinen, who co-founded Borderlight in 2015 with Jeffrey Pence.</p>
<p>Borderlight returns to venues around Cleveland this week, July 20–24, with the mission to present visionary international theater and build cross-cultural understanding. The first festival took place in 2019. A virtual Fringe Festival was held in 2021.</p>
<p>This year’s fest will feature several international productions, including works from Mexico, Germany, Israel and Australia. “<a href="https://www.borderlightcle.org/khuraki/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Khuraki</a>,” a play by and about Afghan refugees to be performed at the Old Stone Church, will also include a “culinary performance.”</p>
