ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Previously known as LadyFest, LimeFest is a zesty digital festival to celebrate new works by some of the most exciting womxn, non-binary, and gender non-conforming artists with stories that we believe must be centered, exalted and provided resources. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit The Tank’s website.
"Why Limes?? Why LimeFest??"
Let's be honest – Limes are upfront, tangy, zesty and make everything better.
Limes have a diverse genetic makeup and come in all shapes and sizes throughout the world. In the world of cooking, limes are an ingredient that enhances and transforms. In the realm of health, limes provide nourishment. In history and mythology, limes fall from feminine trees and have represented love and justice. What better fruit then to carry the name of a festival intended to bring underrepresented genders together to tell stories in the name of radical love and a constant striving for justice?
Sound like a fun challenge? Step right up! The Tank seeks performing art in any discipline: theater, comedy, dance, music, storytelling, film, poetry, and more. We are also seeking proposals for small outdoor performances anywhere in New York City that can be done in a safe, socially distanced fashion.

In 2020, a play about a Jewish woman's quest to go back in time and break Jared Kushner's penis, was set to have its premiere at The Tank. But due to Covid-19 and Jared's failure to contain the virus in the US, the play can no longer be done in a theater full of people. So instead, the artistic team sets to do a new version of the play online! It doesn't go as planned.
