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:
A Friendly Lady, by Max Langert. She used to be a category-five hurricane; now she’s a gentle breeze. The thirty years in between are a blur, and I’m not quite sure how we got here.

Bill Carroll Comedy, by Bill Carroll. Standup and alt-comedy exploration of one man’s 2/3rds life crisis.

You Barely Existed, written and directed by Mia King. Set in real time at the Drama Book Shop in NYC, You Barely Existed engages in a riveting conversation about Asian American representation in the theatre industry.

Context: A Handbook, by Hank Schwemmer. Solo storytelling, for better or worse.

Accidental Book Reviews for Future Robots by The Shameful Comforts – Version 2.4, by Michael Ferstenfeld. The term “FILK MUSIC” originated from a misspelling of “folk music” in an essay written by Lee Jacobs in the 1950s, “The Influence of Science Fiction on Modern American Filk Music.” The editor refused to publish this article, but found the typo so amusing that he told numerous friends in the sci-fi / fantasy / horror fandoms, and it caught on like wildfire to describe the kind of music that honors and parodies those genres of fiction. But WE actually just heard of FILK for the first time after our performance in last year’s FronteraFest, when an audience member came up to us after our show and told us about it. This year, having fully embraced our inner filk-sing, The Shameful Comforts present 3-4 all new songs to Hyde Park Theatre, with fantastical stories betwixt!

Pleaase note: we will not know whether all these shows are appropriate for those under 18 until noon on Tuesday, February 3. Call 512-479-7529 with questions, or email hydeparktheatre@gmail.com.
