Theatre from the Edge
"The
fringe theater event of the Southwest!"
-Austin American Statesman
Expect a thrillingly troubled adolescence as 
FronteraFest enters its lucky thirteenth year at the Hyde Park Theatre. That's right: it's time to heat up your January nights again. 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. Expect the unexpected!
FronteraFest is produced in collaboration with Austin Script Works, a group dedicated to supporting emerging playwrights and developing new dramatic works.
The Short Fringe
January 10 - February 11
at Hyde Park Theatre
Every night we present a new 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 7-11, is the juried "Best of the Fest"--with a few wild cards thrown in. Check out our complete Short Fringe schedule, which will be updated regularly.
PARTICIPANTS: If you'd like to apply to be on the waiting list for a performance slot this year, download your application right here.
The Long Fringe
January 17 - 29 at the Blue Theater
Ten longer productions (90 minutes or less) at the Blue Theater: everything from new works by emerging playwrights to cutting edge choreography. Full details can be found on the complete Long Fringe schedule.
B.Y.O.V. (Bring Your Own Venue)
January 19 - 29 at various locations
The name says it all: participants bring not just their creative work but also their own venue. It's all part of FronteraFest. Take a look at the shows participating in this year's BYOV.
Mi Casa Es Su Teatro This perennial audience favorite features site-specific productions all around town. This year it's curated by Julia M. Smith. Get the full schedule here--and don't miss the party that evening!
