What if welcoming the world started with a spare room?

One of LITF’s most special traditions is our host program. Local hosts open their homes to visiting performers, offering a place to sleep, breakfast and a warm welcome during the festival.

You don’t need to be a theatre expert. You don’t need to entertain your guests. And you decide how involved you want to be.

LITF 2026 runs October 14–18, and we still need hosts.

Have a room? Be part of what makes LITF so special.
