Wild Card Night. One night only-- five shows our staff feels were overlooked by the panelists earlier the Short Fringe festival. Selected by FronteraFest staff.

"Short Fringe Play," by Elizabeth Cobbe and Jed Kreiger. The play will be a deconstruction of the short fringe form: after announcing to the audience the exact rules (x light cues, x sound cues, no more than 25 minutes etc.), we will mount a museum exhibit onstage, inviting audience members to view the display for 10 minutes. The exhibit will provide a launching point into the actual narrative of the play.
