Bath House Cultural Center • White Rock Lake

Has it really been ten years? You bet!

The Festival of Independent Theatres, or FIT as it's commonly called, is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a festival featuring ten local theater companies for four weeks of "eagerly anticipated" performance at the Bath House Cultural Center.

Celebrate with us!


This summer, you are invited to “Join in the Celebration” as the companies perform works by Tennessee Williams, John Patrick Shanley, William Inge, and local playwrights Isabella Russell-Ides and Thomas Riccio
. Seven theater companies return to the FIT fold from last summer's roster while three first-timers are stepping up to make their first-ever FIT appearance.

Order your tickets or festival passes today!
