Interested in One of Austin's Best Kept Secrets?

Break a Leg for this One

Okay. So, it's dark. You slowly creep through the black space, hoping not to bump into anything. As soon as you reach the designated spot, bright lights shine on your face. It's time to deliver your first line. You feel nervous, yet exhilarated. This is your first Hyde Park Theatre FronteraFest performance at 511 W. 43rd Street. Although it is entering its 17th season, many long-time Austin residents are unaware of this collaborative project between this intimate little theater and Austin Script Works. The five-week-long competition was originally launched to discover new works from local playwrights. Seasoned and brand-spanking-new artists are encouraged to develop off-beat, alternative work under 25 minutes for the “Short Fringe” and no longer than 90 minutes for “Long Fringe” acts. It's a unique opportunity for theatrical thrill seekers. Wanna explore your inner-actor? Visit www.fronterafest.com for information on how to apply and perform in the upcoming season. You can also review a video recap of previous award winners.

It's going on now ... so get your tickets!
