FronteraFest Short Fringe Best Of Fest Schedule Announced [theater]

After a month of nearly nightly performances, the audiences and judges have whittled down the list of short fringe entrants from the original pool of 80+ to bring you the cream: The fifteen 25-minute-or-less shows that make up this week's Best Of Fest schedule, which opens tonight and runs through Saturday.

While there's a focus on the one-person performances that are the short fringe's bread and butter, the list of one-chracter plays, poetry readings, and monologues also features a handful of more traditional stage work, including Kyle John Schmidt's pirate brothel piece Saint Matilde's Malady, Roger Reeves' teenage exploration of racism Here, Nigger, and the Michelle Flanagan/Rubber Rep collaboration, Parents/Kids Dance Party.
