Source Festival
June 20 – July 12
Showtimes and Tickets

Three weeks packed with unbridled fearlessness and sheer nerve. Source Festival has selected 18 10-minute plays and commissioned five One Acts. During Project 24/7, preeminent local choreographers and playwrights have teamed up to produce seven 10-minute shows from start to finish in 24 hours. And 17 performing and visual artists are going on “creative blind dates” to spark six inventive mash-up projects. We invite you to watch tradition and innovation collide. Photo by C.

Behave yourself — it's coming soon enough! Bare Breasted Women Sword Fighting is a vaudeville that unleashes the feminine mystique in a whirl of petticoats and a dazzling display of strength, swords, and skin. Behold brutal buxom beauties! Take in tantalizing ta-ta titans! Gaze longingly at the titillating, tangoing Bare Breasted Women Sword Fighting! (And, yes, this contains strong language and nudity.) Photo by Clinton Brandhager
