FronteraFest 2011
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 18th (we can vote! be afraid) 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 11 - February 12
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 8-12, 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.
