Representation Matters: Voices from the BorderLight Festival

The City Club of Cleveland Podcast

BorderLight is an annual theatre festival showcasing innovative theatre that inspires, builds cross-cultural understanding, and celebrates the diversity of the human experience. A nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by Dale Heinen and Jeffrey Pence, the festival will once again open on July 24th and run through July 27th. And this year, they have really outdone themselves! Part of the lineup includes 4 International Shows, 43 Fringe Shows, and 8 Workshops across 20 stages in and around the Playhouse Square District.\r\n\r\nAt the heart of the festival are the artists. The Festival strives to give exposure to up-and-coming and BIPOC artists to share their stories and creativity on their own terms. Join the City Club, in partnership with BorderLight, as we hear from featured artists from the 2024 Borderlight Theatre Festival about the importance of representation and diverse creativity in the arts and culture industry.
