Theatrical fringe festival FronteraFest proves there’s still space to experiment in a crowded Austin.
Roaring back like some plague-repressed lion ready to rule the greasepaint jungle once again, Austin's longest-running and most beloved performance festival returns after a two-year pandemic hiatus.
This year's festival features two different showcases. The Short Fringe will run the entirety of the festival, Tue.-Sat., Jan. 17-Feb. 18, at Hyde Park Theatre . The BYOV showcase runs Jan. 29-Feb. 4, at two places that aren't HPT. What can you expect to see at this Short Fringe thing, citizen? Well, the weeknights are always an unpredictable assortment – and the house tends to be packed with the various performers' friends and supporters. The Saturday shows, though? At this point there's no telling what they'll turn out to contain, but we reckon you won't find better – or weirder – stagework anywhere in town on those Best of the Week nights.
“Even though I’ve been producing [FronteraFest] for 20 years, there’s always something that surprises me.”"For most of the 40-plus years I've lived here," said Catmull,"I've rolled my eyes at the whole Oh-Sure-But-If-You-Knew-What-Austin-Was-Like-Five-Minutes-Before-You-Got-Here thing.
