FronteraFest 2019
Theatre from the Edge
"The
fringe theater event of the Southwest!"
-Austin American Statesman
That's right: it's time to heat up 
your winter nights again, with the 26th season of FronteraFest at Hyde Park Theatre. The Short Fringe, the Long Fringe, BYOV, or Mi Casa--as always and ever, FronteraFest is five weeks of alternative, offbeat, new, and just plain off-the-wall fringe theatre. Too bad there's no actual way to expect the unexpected, because that is your only hope.
FronteraFest is produced in collaboration with ScriptWorks, a group dedicated to supporting emerging playwrights and developing new dramatic works.
The Short Fringe
January 15 - February 16, 2019
at Hyde Park Theatre
Every night we present a new, unjuried bill of four or five plays no longer than 25 minutes each. Brilliant monologues? Plays in progress? Comedy improv? Cabaret singers? Avant-garde dance? Short films? Multimedia? We've seen it all.
Every Saturday night is a juried "Best of the Week" performance, and the last week, February 9-13, is the juried "Best of the Fest"--with a few wild cards thrown in. A complete schedule, updated regularly, will be available here as the festival approaches.
PARTICIPANTS: We are now full up and have started a waiting list. In past years, waiting list participants do get in to perform, so we urge you to sign up.
