Opportunity: FronteraFest 2013 Applications Available via Hyde Park Theatre

FronteraFest 2013 runs January 15 - February 16, 2013. Applications and information now available at www.hydeparktheatre.org

That's right: it's time to heat up your winter nights again, with the holy-smokes-this-is-momentous 20th anniversary season of FronteraFest at Hyde Park Theatre (typically one gives emeralds on the 20th, hint hint). The Short Fringe, the Long Fringe, BYOV, or Mi Casa--as always and ever, FronteraFest is five weeks of alternative, offbeat, new, and just plain off-the-wall fringe theatre. Too bad there's no actual way to expect the unexpected, because that is your only hope.

FronteraFest is produced in collaboration with ScriptWorks, a group dedicated to supporting emerging playwrights and developing new dramatic works.

The Short Fringe
January 15 - February 16, 2013 at Hyde Park Theatre

Every night we present a new bill of four or five plays no longer than 25 minutes each. Brilliant monologues? Plays in progress? Comedy improv? Cabaret singers? Avant-garde dance? Short films? Multimedia? We've seen it all.

Every Saturday night is a juried "Best of the Week" performance, and the last week, February 12-16, is the juried "Best of the Fest"--with a few wild cards thrown in. A complete schedule, updated regularly, will be available here as the festival approaches.

PARTICIPANTS: Get your application in PDF format turned in right this second, or at least by November 1, 2012. (Seriously, we give out slots on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't delay.)

January 21 - February 3 at Salvage Vanguard Theater
