59E59 Theaters has announced 2015 line up for the annual East to Edinburgh festival, offering performances from July 7-26.

The festival is held each July, and hosts a collection of U.S. productions en route to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world. It was created as a way to help shows get on their feet before traveling to Scotland, simulating the same production constraints as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe but in a clean, comfortable and nurturing space to fine-tune their productions.

This year's three-week festival will feature 19 productions, reflecting some of the most adventurous theater from around New York and across the U.S.
