3rd Annual Twenty by Twenty Fringe Set For This Month

After two successful years, Lime Arts Productions' Twenty by Twenty Fringe (TBTF) returns, and it is more enticing than ever before! This digitally presented festival of new works was conceived by Founding Artistic Director Roman Sanchez to present bold, innovative, and intimate new works created by passionate and newly empowered voices: artists in their twenties. In its third iteration, TBTF will further explore the multiplicity of artists and cultures across the globe.

TBTF will run from May 18, 2023 through May 28, 2023 online for free. A full team of 135+ emerging artists from all over the world are partaking in the Fringe, generating artistic creations that will transport audiences from Jakarta, Indonesia in 1997 to a thrilling Antarctic voyage. The festival will culminate in a Recognition Ceremony on May 28 celebrating festival participants and honoring this year's Young Icon Award Recipient: Emilie Kouatchou.

Full show and film descriptions, and ticketing information are available at www.limearts.org/fringe. Explore more on the Lime Arts Instagram: @limeartsproductions.

TBTF provides low-risk, accessible opportunities for young artists' creativity and exploration in order to serve as a catalyst for respect and recognition in the arts. Lime Arts values equity, justice, and resonance in theatre and film, and boasts a resounding 87% of artists of color in its leadership.
