<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">The BorderLight Festival returns in 2023 with our first all-Fringe festival and we invite you to apply! This not-for-profit festival will take place over three days in late July or early
August (dates tbc soon!). The festival will feature half local artists, half artists from all over the U.S. BorderLight will provide a venue, box office, marketing support, and fun, free events like an Opening Night Party and a Fringe Awards Ceremony. 70%
of box office revenue is returned to artists. And, participating artists can see other shows in the festival for free on a standby basis. The BorderLight Fringe Festival draws thousands of attendees to downtown Cleveland and helps makes in-person theatre accessible
to more people. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
