20 Years of Bold Performances, Big Ideas, and You. Let’s Celebrate! For two decades, IF Theatre has been shaking things up with performances that push boundaries, spark conversations, and leave you thinking long after the curtain falls. This year, we’re honoring our past—each risk, each breakthrough, each unforgettable moment—and looking toward a future filled with even bigger ideas and new stories to tell. And we’re doing it with monthly surprises, unexpected community partnerships, and special events all year long. This isn’t just an anniversary. It’s a full-throttle celebration of theatre, creativity, and the power of our shared stories.

Join IF Theatre at St. Clair and Mass Ave, as it builds up to the brilliance of the 20th Anniversary IndyFringe Festival – presented by Everwise Credit Union.
