Live Out Loud: A Phoenix Fringe Festival Production

In spring of 2010 we performed the second annual Tumbleweed production during the Phoenix Fringe Festival. The play, Live Out Loud performed at Modified Arts to sold out houses on April 8, 9 & 10, 2010.


Fourteen clients participated in the process of creating Live Out Loud, attending at least one rehearsal. Six clients stayed through to the end, and performed in the show. Juan, Angie, Twitch, Chris, Nick and Kristen performed during the Fringe, then toured twice, to Mesa Community College and to The Learning Center.

The show was one of the most successful productions in the Phoenix Fringe Festival. As we gear up for Phoenix Fringe 2011, we are excited to take what we learned from both The Other Side and Live Out Loud the first and second collaborations between Tumbleweed and the Fringe.
