FronteraFest 2025 Short Fringe
Four to five short pieces of 25 minutes or less

The shows will be re-listed her in performance order by noon on Tuesday of the week they perform. 

Funeral Float, by Pearls of Wisdom. Papa left some surprises behind when he passed. His family has gathered to scatter his ashes while they tube down the San Marcos River. They will pull together in harmony to give him the loving send-off he deserves. Or will they?

Pearls of Wisdom. Creators include: Diane Owens, Nancy Lynch, David Guarino, Glenn Gurgiolo, Kathryn Nelson, Elise Moltz, Mary Coppinger, and Tracy Cornelius.

Silent Faces, written and performed by Alex Garza. In this original solo work, Garza fuses together several of his poems and performs them as character monologues to tell the journey of a gay man through his life.  The play explores one person's evolution and search for love, identity, and visibility in the world. 

The Heart of Things, by Andy Tate (Scriptworks Commission). Zach and Adam are sorting through their belongings as they prepare to leave their apartment for a fresh start. While packing up, they begin unpacking their three-year relationship. Now every object is a treasured memory to unearth, or a hard truth to expose, and neither of them is in the mood to stop digging. Featuring Joseph Paz and Kirk Scarbrough. Directed by Jason Sierra.

I’m Not Here to Help You, by  Kate Howard.  A comedic musical performance piece consisting of five original songs performed by Ms. Howard and her power trio.

THE Talk: A Pep Rally Purity Play, by Lilly Percifield and CB Goodman. Let’s go LIONS! It’s Homecoming at Christian High School Academy, and there’s no better time to talk about... Abstinence. In this excerpt, Principal Luke's smokin' hot wife is here to teach the girls How To Stay Pure. Lilly Percifield channels her experience with West Texas Evangelical Purity Culture into a ridiculously absurd solo comedy that resembles a "Youth Group on Steroids" using one very important sandwich.
