Description

Dive beneath the surface of a decade of political chaos and uncover a riveting tale of principle versus power. In For Love of Country, meet an aging American patriot, his cunning spokesperson, and a mysterious Russian "graduate student." Join them on an epic journey across land, sea, and a rally ground, filled with desperation, victory, and betrayal as they plot against enemies and each other. Whose principles will triumph? Will they survive? And will America emerge unscathed? In a single hour, modern musical/opera captures the rise of a political movement, and the betrayal that leads to its fall.

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.
