Description

Roadtrips are inherently liminal. Have you read that Tumblr thread about how you don’t drive in Arizona after sundown without an item on each unused seat, so you don’t pick up hitchhiking spirits? What about the cryptid ones that are slightly too weird to be fake? Inside every creepypasta is a nugget of truth, even if it’s just a wonky self-portrait of human nature. Leigh’s stories are inspired by truly inexplicable road trips they and loved ones have taken through the seedy underbelly of the backroads, and been fortunate enough to come home. Featuring a story premiering at Tucson Fringe.

Content Warning: 13+, Strong Language, Depictions or Discussion of Violence, Strong Political Content.

Artist Bio: Leigh Mileur was certainly born, later got obsessed with dog facts, and, still later, realized they liked cats and were extremely queer. The latter two were unrelated save for temporal proximity. Leigh can periodically be found lurking backstage waiting to press buttons in a highly specific sequence. They went to school for linguistics because of being curious about it, then mostly stopped doing either. They like things that skirt the line between art and craft.

Tucson Fringe Festival

The Tucson Fringe Festival is an unjuried, uncensored performing arts festival. Since 2011, following international fringe tenets, the festival provides artists with low-risk, low-cost opportunities to perform by using economies of scale to reduce venue rental costs and by taking only 20%, and sometimes 0%, of the artist’s earnings. Tucson Fringe also provides the Tucson arts community with avant-garde, non-traditional performing arts at low-cost ticket prices.

The festival does not curate or select the performances, maintaining an environment in which everyone and anyone can perform. This ensures that underrepresented artistic voices, such as people of color, the LGBT+ community, women, and other marginalized genders, are championed in our community.

The festival takes place in January every year across multiple venues in downtown Tucson. On average, every year the festival has 20+ shows with between 50-60 performances during the festival weekend.
