SUMMARY:Borderlight Festival Is Back with Four Days of Performances at Play
 house Square
DESCRIPTION:\nWed 7/16-Sat 7/19\nCleveland’s BorderLight Theatre Festival
  had its first event in 2019 and then ran into the headwinds of the pandem
 ic—and survived. It went virtual in 2021 and had an all-fringe festival.
  Now it seems to have leaned into the “fringe” aspect with a festival 
 that’s heavy on local artists\, not a problem given how this region teem
 s with theater and other performing talent.\nIt’s offering 40 production
 s on 16 stages in and around Playhouse Square. They include standard acted
  scripts\, but also music\, dance\, storytelling\, circus acts\, butoh\, m
 agic\, comedy\, poetry\, monologues\, interactive shows and more. Some are
  lighthearted\, just for fun\, some tell historical or personal stories\, 
 and others address powerful contemporary issues.\nIt kicks off on Wednesda
 y July 16 from 7-9:30pm with a program called Fringe Unleashed\, which pre
 views the offerings of the next three days\, giving attendees a chance to 
 learn about the lineup\, meet the artists and see pop-up mini-performances
 . On Saturday from noon-5pm\, Fringe Jr invites kids\, teens\, adults and 
 families to take in a slate of shows suited to younger theatergoers\, with
  productions rated 9-12 or 14+.  that appeal to kids\, teens\, and adults
  alike—each with its own recommended age range and content advisories to
  help families make informed choices\, from all ages to 8–13 or 14+.\nFo
