Our panelists chose their favorites from all the Saturday "Best of Week" shows to play during Best of Fest Week, and audience vote determined the last two "Best of Fest" shows.

Tonight is Bill A--the same bill will also play on Friday, February 11.

Crossing Frequencies: Tapestry on the Fringe, by Matt Shields of Tapestry Dance Company; Artistic Director of Tapestry on the Fringe; Featuring Charles "swift" Philips & Andrew Brought. A Musical experience that fuses the different sounds of TAP DANCE, with contemporary takes on Jazz and hip hop standards offering a very fresh and unique sense of sound and culture. There is nothing else like this, anywhere!

Purgatory for Pansies, by Michael Slefinger. Michael Slefinger is in Purgatory. Things could be worse . . . But he can't help thinking they're supposed to be a lot better. His one-man show takes an acerbic and charming look at trying to rise above.

Crazy Bett, by Paullette MacDougal (Rae Peterson). A historial solo play about a woman spy for the North in Richmond, VA, the heart of the Confederacy. Performed by Rae Petersen, directed by Gaia Farnam.

Punched in the Vagina, by Nance Riffe. In this one-woman show, Nance Riffe explores her life in the 7 years between her parents' divorce and her father's suicide. But it's funny.

The Wussy Boy Chronicles, by Big Poppa E. HBO "Def Poetry" veteran Big Poppa E performs his latest spoken word pieces, mixing performance poetry, stand-up comedy and dramatic monologue into a crowd-pleasing display of verbal fireworks. BPE has made Best of Fest 9 times in the last 8 years, and this is his funniest show yet.

Tonight is Bill B--the same bill will also play on Saturday, February 12.

They’re Coming to Get You, written and directed by Lowell Bartholomee, performed by Robert S. Fisher. A one-person performance with video. Kaufman's BODY SNATCHERS, Carpenter's THE THING, haunted houses, and religion-induced hysteria. You know, the usual.

Richie Farmer Will Have His Revenge on Durham, book by Diana Grisanti; music and lyrics by Matt Schatz (ScriptWorks Commission). It’s 1992. Post-March Madness. Duke’s in; Kentucky’s out. The Bluegrass State is in ruins, and UK cheerleader Carly has a deep, dark secret: she’s in love with the enemy. Oh, and she also prefers flannel and greasy hair to short skirts and ponytails. At the height of the basketball wars and the culture wars, Diana Grisanti and Matt Schatz bring you a grunge rock musical that’s, like, totally all that and a bag of early 90s chips.

Zen and the Zen of Zen, by Hank Schwemmer. An occurrence, in the most specific sense of the word.

The Bitter Poet, by The Bitter Poet (Kevin Draine). If you move to Brooklyn, fall in love with a Brooklyn Girl and become Happy, is it still possible to be a Poet? The Bitter Poet performs his high energy, guitar-driven poems in search of the answer.

International House of Perception, by Kirk German and Joe Hartman (ScriptWorks Commission). Two old friends attempt to settle an epic real-life dispute in front of our attractive and intelligent audience. Stemming from the true story of a bizarre altercation at a Pflugerville IHoP parking lot in 2005, this comic extravaganza lets YOU decide whose version of these surreal events is more likely to be true . . .

Tonight is Wild Card night, featuring shows chosen by the FronteraFest staff--our favorites of the shows overlooked by the Short Fringe panelists. This bill plays tonight only.

All Too Human, by Taylor Flanagan & Lacee Duke (I Heart M.O.M.). Intentions are to explore, to be approved of, to incite immeasurable joy, to get attention (and retain it), to create, to sweat, and to break hearts.

I Hope You're Taking Notes, by Dave Harper. Corporate success through professional incompetence.

Schadenfreude, by Jason Rainey (ScriptWorks Commission). Lori has long feared that she was the butt of someone's joke; now she might have the opportunity to return the favor.

Mud Offerings, by Natalie Goodnow. A Chicanita has it out with the Virgen de Guadalupe. This solo play interrogates the historical and present-day roles played by women who live between cultures, and their relationships with spirituality, sexuality, violence, and betrayal. Written and performed by Natalie Goodnow, directed by Dino Foxx and kt shorb.

Fitzgeralds For Hire, by Kaci Beeler and Curtis Luciani. Join us for improvised rollicking tales of adventure and danger featuring that notorious glamour couple of the Jazz Age, F.Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. We posit an alternative history in which all the renowned artists and authors of the modernist age were fully involved in the political machinations of the 1920s and 30s. Due to their lavish lifestyle, the Fitzgeralds are out of money again, and ready for hire as spies, saboteurs, and assassins.
