The Orlando Fringe Festival celebrates its 30th edition, and the city celebrates the return of live theater
On March 19, 2020, the future of one of Central Florida s most important cultural institutions was thrown into question when the 29th annual Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival was canceled in light of the then-accelerating COVID-19 pandemic. While the event nimbly pivoted to presenting virtual productions, fans were worried if the organization would survive to celebrate its 30th edition. Well, what a difference 14 months and three miraculous vaccines can make. In this spring s surest sign yet of recovery for Orlando s arts community, the 2021 Orlando Fringe is back, live and in person at Lock Haven Park, from May 18 through May 31.

One commenter said: “Every time this ride breaks down I fear for the poor people stuck in all of the spiders or upside down/sideways on the Whomping Willow.”
Badique responded that you “could hear the people upside down shouting in pain.” Someone in one of the videos also joked that “the magic is ruined.”
