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

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

Showstopper, by Angela J. Latham. Angela J. Latham eventually escaped White Evangelicalism. Barely. Once noted in evangelical circles for her performances of biblical texts and religious heroines, Latham replays her dramatic turn from fundamentalist to freethinker in an irreverent and poignant solo performance that is equal parts meta-theatre, memoir, and biting social commentary. 

Clifford Henderson: 21st Century Comedian, by Roy Lazorwitz. Clifford Henderson was once at the top of his game, performing stand-up comedy for sold out crowds at state fairs and bowling alleys. After doing the same jokes for years, his audiences have dried up and his bank account is empty. Now he has no choice; he must change directions. But instead of evolving his act, he decides to do what any responsible male living in America would do: rob a bank.

Sticky, by Rebecca Greaves and Meret Slover. Dive into the hilariously awkward, surprisingly tender world of Sticky, produced by Dirty Gold Theatre. Set in Ann's modest apartment, this witty comedy follows three women navigating the unpredictable dynamics of a late-night rendezvous that’s equal parts sensual, chaotic, and soul-baring. Sticky explores intimacy, identity, and the beauty of human connection—even when things don’t go according to plan. 

Accidental Book Reviews for Future Robots by Michael Ferstenfeld. A song cycle written and performed by the human Michael Ferstenfeld in between bouts of consuming a great many works of science-fiction and alternate-history during a time of great loss and upheaval (2019-2029). Each piece began as improvised lyrical free association, but turned out to be not-so-subtly influenced by these works—books like The Left Hand of Darkness, A Psalm for the Wild-Built, and The Plot Against America.

BAFFLING!, by Kayla Lane Freeman. A clown show.
