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
Just want to cut to the chase? Here's a handy calendar of all FronteraFest events.
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.
Short Fringe tickets now available--as are Best of Week and Best of Fest tickets! These go fast, so grab them while you can.
The Long Fringe
January 21 - February 2, 2019
at Ground Floor Theatre
Long Fringe tickets now available! These are longer productions (90 minutes or less) performed at Ground Floor Theatre, 979 Springdale Road. This year we have robots, dogs, shield maidens, extraterrestrials, and the wild and wildly funny Speed Levitch, just to name a few. Details on the ticket page!
Mi Casa Es Su Teatro
Saturday, February 9, 2019
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. More details here soon, with locations and descriptions of each piece.
Please note: there are no advance sales or reservations for Mi Casa.
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. You can drive through The Parlor's parking lot to reach it. Evening HPT parking also available at the Hyde Park Church of Christ on the northeast corner of 43rd & Avenue B. We are grateful to them both for their generosity.
