2026 FronteraFest Short Fringe
The Short Fringe is five different shows a night, each 25 minutes or less. Five shows from this week’s Tuesday – Friday shows will be selected for the Saturday Best of Week shows.

Tonight’s shows:
The Floor is Lava is a comedy sketch group that performs regularly at Fallout Theater. They will be performing a few of their best sketches from 2025!

A Reunion, by Lance Elliot Osborne, Directed by Zell Miller III. On an early morning phone call, two former classmates—one Black, one White—reconnect for the first time in 50 years. What begins as a simple high school reunion invitation unfolds into an unflinching, tender conversation about race, memory, and what was left unsaid. A Reunion explores how old wounds, deep truths, and unexpected kinship can emerge in the most ordinary moments.

The Sleepover Show, by Mackenzie Jaquish. Winner of Best Script at the DUMBO Comedy Pride Festival, The Sleepover Show is a narrative-driven variety show that follows the adventures of six young women at a ’90s-style sleepover! Combining elements of storytelling, original music, and dance, The Sleepover Show is a nostalgic ride from start to finish!

Vernal Roost, a short parable play by Candyce L. Rusk. Set on the vernal equinox on light poles above a gigundo H-E-B parking lot, sharp-tongued grackles consider vengeance. The piece premiered at TUBU Fest (2025) and returns now with most of the same cast, under the direction of Insha Iqbal.

Confessions of a Boomer in Remission, by Scott Silverman. Ramblings from a guy who helped ruin everything. BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

Pleaase note: we will not know whether all these shows are appropriate for those under 18 until noon on Tuesday, January 20. Call 512-479-7529 with questions, or email hydeparktheatre@gmail.com.
