FronteraFest, Austin’s longest-running and most beloved performance festival returns for its 29th year. A unique collaboration between Hyde Park Theatre and ScriptWorks, FronteraFest attracts actors, artists, poets, dancers, and performers of all types throughout Texas and beyond.

FronteraFest will include two different components. The Short Fringe (pieces 25 minutes or less) will run the entirety of the festival (January 16 – February 17), taking place at Hyde Park Theatre, 511 West 43rd Street. Mi Casa es Su Teatro takes place one day only on Saturday, February 10, primarily in private Austin homes.

FronteraFest has attracted worldwide recognition and the participation of thousands during its nearly three-decade history. Recently, FronteraFest was honored with a Special Recognition from Austin’s B. Iden Payne Awards Council for “Arts Incubation”.

FronteraFest is a synergistic, creative collaboration between two well-known Texas arts organizations; Hyde Park Theatre, an award-winning professional theatre in Central Austin, and ScriptWorks, a playwright development and service organization with members in Austin, the state, and around the country.
