ABOUT THE FEST
Join us for the first time live and in person!
Originally planned to be an in-person live event in 2020, Covid prevented the launch of the event until 2021. Out of an abundance of caution, the 2021 Fest was presented virtually. We are so pleased to be able to bring the 2022 fest live and in person to the stages across Northwest Indiana. Thank you for joining us as we build back live in-person theatre stronger and better than before.
