Orlando is buzzing with excitement as the highly anticipated Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival gears up for its grand performances from May 13 to 26, 2025. This celebration of theatrical arts promises a rich tapestry of diverse performances that cater to all tastes, ensuring there’s something for everyone!
One of the standout performances expected to mesmerize audiences is “Down the Rabbit Hole”. This innovative, wordless reimagining of the beloved classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland comes from the creative mind of Gerry Shannon, a notable theatre artist based in Portland, Maine. This captivating show embarks on an adventure led by the White Rabbit. As a curious girl influences his life, chaos ensues, involving five quirky characters straight from Wonderland.
What makes this show particularly fascinating is that it is performed entirely through movement, with a delightful blend of dancing and pantomime. Audiences of all ages are sure to find joy in this unique interpretation, sparking imagination while transporting everyone into a world brimming with whimsy. Interestingly, the talented cast of Orlando-based performers learned their choreography remotely, creating a remarkable showcase of talent from over 1,500 miles away.
But that’s not all! The ALTAR BOYZ are also set to take the stage at the Titusville Playhouse from May 2 to 25. This lively performance focuses on a group of five boys who aspire to save the world through the power of music. Expect catchy tunes and feel-good vibes that are bound to uplift spirits!
Meanwhile, Significant Productions prepares to unveil “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” at The Studio Theatre Tierra del Sol. This hilarious and heartwarming show marks their first summer production, promising a journey of love and relationships that many can relate to.
As part of the lineup, audiences will get the chance to delve into the comedic and controversial world of “Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo Lecture (of sorts)”, which is slated to appear at the Orlando Fringe on select dates in May. This captivating blend of humor and thought-provoking topics is not to be missed!
And let’s not overlook the world debut of “Escape From Planet Earth”, a political satire crafted by Melanie Bailey. Set to run from May 17 to 25, this quirky performance tackles frustrations with modern life through an ensemble of offbeat characters, including a Canadian goose and a half-alligator, half-man politician. Get ready to laugh while contemplating deep societal issues!
One of the unique experiences at the festival will be hosted by The Church of Fringe, inviting patrons into a participatory experience unlike any other. Attendees can engage in quirky tests for a minimum donation of $10, with proceeds benefiting the festival and its talented performers. This interactive art experience promises to be a memorable aspect of the festival, including exclusive mini-shows and an intriguing “ascension” ceremony for those who complete all tests!
Another notable performance, “The Ceremony: Motherhood is a Trip,” is scheduled from May 15 to 25. This darkly comedic narrative takes a refreshingly honest look at motherhood, capturing the journey of rediscovering joy amidst challenges and chaos.
The Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival is set to unfold at 812 E Rollins St., Orlando, FL. With an array of performances spanning various genres and catering to diverse audiences, there’s truly no place like it during these two weeks of artistic wonder!
