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 Jane Byrne Stream of Conscience, by Raymond V. Whelan. The first female mayor of Chicago delivers her inaugural address in poetic fashion.

Bloom, by Sandy Lam. Through music, movement, and devising, Bloom tells the story of the Tsang family: three women, three survivors, bound in a cycle of love and hurt. An exploration of intergenerational trauma, healing, and growth. This project contains select scenes from the full stage play.

The Luddites, by Marty Shambles. A play about job automation.

Hot Bev, by Heather Coffee and John Turlington. Hot Bev is a high-energy improv show featuring two longtime collaborators who serve up spontaneous situations and wild stories. With no scripts and no boundaries, every performance is a fresh, unpredictable journey filled with quirky characters, bizarre explorations, and nonstop hilarity. Hot Bev brings fun, laughter, and off-the-cuff moments that leave audiences questioning the fundamental realities of the universe — such as whether a hot dog is a sandwich (it is not).

What to Expect When You Were Expecting to Be Raptured, by Teresa Johnson. Some guy said the Rapture would happen in September 2025. There’s usually some guy saying things like that, but this time, some people believed him. Some woman tries to figure out why and what to do about it, through her relationship with God, her history in the Christian church, and her spoken word poetry. You may be enraptured—you won’t be raptured.

Pleaase note: we will not know whether all these shows are appropriate for those under 18 until noon on Tuesday, January 27. Call 512-479-7529 with questions, or email hydeparktheatre@gmail.com.
