BORDERLIGHT 2025
FESTIVAL RECAP
BORDERLIGHT 2025
The 2025 BorderLight Theatre Festival was a bold celebration of creativity, connection, and community. Audiences experienced genre-defying work from local, national, and international artists, from site-specific performances in a hotel and a cemetery to an epic dance battle, a dazzling acrobatics troupe, and even a one-on-one encounter beneath an umbrella.
This year we also expanded Fringe Jr. with a larger footprint for family-friendly shows and strengthened our accessibility efforts with new tools, clearer signage, and additional support, creating a more inclusive experience for all.
