Orlando Fringe is back with a wide variety of ticketed performances, a free outdoor stage, an eclectic visual art gallery, and kids’ activities. While there’s simply too much Fringe to cover in a single article, we are doing a series of posts about this incredible Orlando event. In this seventh installment for the 2023 season, we’re looking at a one-night-only special presentation: the Flashlight Cabaret!
What is Orlando Fringe?
The Flashlight Cabaret is playing at Orlando Fringe, a two-week theater festival focused on unjuried and uncensored works of performance art. While similar festivals exist all over the world, Orlando Fringe is the longest running event of its kind within the United States. Fringe Festivals are generally known for featuring alternative or experimental pieces of art, so you really never know what you’re going to find!
Flashlight Cabaret
A one-night-only event, Flashlight Cabaret is a variety show – in the dark! Audience members use Fringe-provided flashlights to supply the only lighting in the whole theater. Sure to be full of humorous moments and unexpected challenges, Flashlight Cabaret is listed as a 90 minute production.
Flashlight Cabaret according to Orlando Fringe’s website:
A variety show like no other, where artists perform previously unseen songs and skits, lit only by audience-held flashlights. The most magical night of the entire festival, promise. There’s something truly special about the Flashlight Cabaret.
I’ve never experienced a Flashlight Cabaret before, but I am so intrigued that I just bought a ticket to Wednesday’s show. I can’t wait to see it!
Tickets for Flashlight Cabaret
Flashlight Cabaret will run on ONE NIGHT ONLY – Wednesday, May 24th at 11:55pm. To buy your ticket, visit Orlando Fringe’s website.
Because 100% of the base ticket price is given directly to the respective artists, you will also need to purchase a reusable 2023 Fringe Festival button. Buttons are $10 and grant access to all the performances at this year’s event (along with an individually purchased show ticket). No matter how many productions you plan to see, you only need one button per person.
Know Before You Go
- A 2023 Fringe Festival button (and show ticket) is required to visit any performance. You can purchase your button online.
- Parking at Orlando Fringe can be tricky. Make sure you arrive early to allow plenty of time to locate a suitable spot and travel to the show location.
- The Flashlight Cabaret is located in the Orange Venue inside Orlando Shakes.
