In 2003, Pilgrim produced its first, modest, "international" festival, Crossing Borders – an intercultural engagement, which opened at the Boston Center for the Arts. The festival brought challenging theatre work to Boston that linked artists from Massachusetts and abroad, including Deborah Lake Fortson’s Body and Sold!, Perla Logarzo’s There are Stones in Heaven…, Caryl Churchill’s The Skriker and Sherrill Stoodley’s young, all-women company, Serious Play!, and Chimaera Physical Theater’s The Living Room. Post-show discussion topics during the first Crossing Borders festival included the critical crisis of the growing sex trade industry here and abroad, political and personal persecution in Argentina, and the creative process itself.

Pilgrim has proposed to make the festival an annual or biennial event. Crossing Borders is conceived of as a festival of artistic exchange, often intercultural in nature. The company believes that this effort offers a unique opportunity to introduce Massachusetts audiences and artists to new forms of theatre, generate a more multi-cultural range of audiences, and offer area artists the chance to engage in ongoing artistic dialogue.
