It's been a great week to take in some fringe at Hyde Park Theatre. We've always enjoyed Maggie Gallant's work, and her latest piece, Our Angle In Heaven, is outstanding. We plan to check out the full version of the show in the Long Fringe: this Sunday at 4pm at the Salvage Vanguard Theater. We'll also catch the final Long Fringe performance of Daniel Huntley Solon's Sex, With Benefits on Saturday at noon, at the Blue Theater, because the portion we saw last night was so compelling, we have to see the whole story. more ›

Tonight kicks off the first night of the Short Fringe at Hyde Park Theatre during FronteraFest 2009, a performance festival celebrating the spectrum of performing arts, from dance to music to theatre. You name it, it's probably been done in the 16 year history of FronteraFest. This year, FronteraFest also features Long Fringe performances showcasing longer works at the Blue Theater and Salvage Vanguard Theatre as well as a day of performance in unexpected locations, aptly named Mi Casa Es Su Teatro. more ›

The wait for unclaimed tickets on sold out nights starts an hour before showtime and baby it’s cold outside. more ›
