FronteraFest 2019 is over! You want FronteraFest 2020.
FronteraFest 2019 Theatre from the Edge "The
fringe theater event of the Southwest!"
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.
Calendar
The Short Fringe 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.
Short Fringe tickets now available--as are Best of Week and Best of Fest tickets! These go fast, so grab them while you can.
Mi Casa Es Su Teatro A day of site-based work performed in local homes and other surprising locales, Mi Casa is consistently one of the most popular components of our festival.
2019 Mi Casa details are available now! Download this PDF with locations and descriptions of each piece. Tickets are $5 per house or $15 for a day pass. Pay at the door by cash or Venmo (yes! we're finally offering Venmo).
This year Mi Casa is curated by Travis Tate. Travis Tate is a queer, black playwright, poet, and performer from Austin, Texas. Their poetry has appeared in Borderlands:Texas Poetry Review, Underblong, Mr. Ma’am, and upcoming in the Shade Journal and apt. Their plays include It's A Travesty! One Night With Jazzie Mercado, MotherWitch, and Queen of The Night. You can find more about them at travisltate.com.
The Long Fringe Please note: the play Straitjacket, by Charles Stites, has been cancelled.
Hyde Park Theatre is located at 511 W. 43rd Street. Covered off-street parking for the patrons of HPT is available during performances in the lot at 4315 Guadalupe Street, just north of The Parlor.

We are grateful to them both for their generosity.
