    FronteraFest 2027

    January 12– February 13, 2027

    Hyde Park Theatre season show: That’s right: it will soon be time to heat up your winter nights again with the 32nd season of FronteraFest at Hyde Park Theatre. The Short Fringe, BYOV, and 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.

    PARTICIPANTS! We’re taking applications, first come first served — and there’s a discount if you apply by October 1. Do it! This is the year! (And check out the online “FronteraFest 101” workshop Tuesday, September 22—sliding scale fees.)

    FronteraFest is produced in collaboration with ScriptWorks, a group dedicated to supporting emerging playwrights and developing new dramatic works.

    Infinite Life

    by Annie Baker

    February 25 - March 27, 2027

    Hyde Park Theatre season show. Annie Baker is the Pulitzer Prize and MacArthur Genius Award-winning playwright of many past HPT favorites, including John, The Antipodes, The Flick, The Aliens, Circle Mirror Transformation, and Body Awareness,

    In 2027, HPT is bringing you Baker’s latest: a very funny and occasionally harrowing play set at a California pain clinic. The New York Times called Infinite Life “very weird and great.” Vulture called it “nimble, funny, and devastating . . . Whatever the relative wellness or illness of our bodies, Infinite Life gathers us all in its wide embrace, turning its curious, accepting gaze on our brokenness.”

    Directed by Ken Webster. More details soon.
