Nine Companies. Four Weekends. Bath House Cultural Center presents the 9th Annual Festival of Independent Theatres July 13-August 4, 2007.

FIT was created in 1999 as an outlet for smaller companies without a permanent performance space to give them an opportunity to produce seldom seen, new, or avant-garde works. FIT exists to promote awareness and growth of Dallas area theatre through collaboration, participation and cultivation.

The festival appeals to lifelong theater fans as well as newbies wanting to experience something a little different on hot summer weekends. Last year, Lawson Taitte of The Dallas Morning News ranked FIT in his “Top Five” favorite theater events for 2006.

Throughout it history, FIT has been praised for its inclusion of plays that have never been seen (or rarely seen) in North Texas. This year’s participating companies and the plays they will perform are:

  • Act I Productions – Unexpected Turnings and I’m Not Here
  • Bootstraps Comedy Theater – The Boxer
  • Project X – Ylla
  • Risk Theater Initiative – The Blue Room (Rated NC–17)
  • Theater Fusion – The Mystery Plays
  • Second Thought Theatre – Line
  • Theater Quorum – The Wreck on the Five-Twenty-Five
