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:
An Introduction to Software Development, by Nick Ivons (ScriptWorks Commission). An exploration of the power of love and friendship that could’ve been an email. Here’s how the sausage gets made.

People in Arkansas by Natasha White. A one-woman play based on memory and imagination of the voices of those who colored my upbringing in the South. Through ten vivid monologues, I embody the people I’ve met—some tender, some troubled, all achingly human. From a long-winded waitress to a gas station manager stuck in his own prejudice, each story reveals a piece of my first home.

The Inspector’s Gift, by Raymond V. Whelan. One pesky Montreal police officer intrudes upon a young married couple in their home during the October 1970 crisis which involved the Front Du Liberation Quebec, British Trade Commissioner James Cross, and Quebec Deputy Premier Pierre LaPorte.

Moving Forward, written and performed by Adriane Shown. Having relocated cities 19 times, living in over 40 abodes, Adriane explores the sense of an internal home and self, in what baggage we box up to carry with us. We are ghosts of previous selves in this single life, but we are also the haunted house itself. An echo of who and what we choose to leave behind as we continue moving forward. 

One Day on the Camino, by Rupert Reyes, with Lesley Clark. In the summer of 2025, I walked a portion of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain and came across a pilgrim from England. It was a day of struggle, a day of empathy, a day of compassion, and a day of shared experiences. This is a moment I’ll never forget. I feel that the experience was an answer to a question that I am continuing to explore.

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.
