Our city is so overrun with festivals and special events that we're worn out with them. But our jaded selves got a jump start last year from FronteraFest. Frontera Productions' month-long performance jamboree gave artists the chance to stage whatever they wanted in a half-hour chunk, and the results were thrilling: original pieces and challenging work delivered by talents with rare fervor. It was a real celebration of theatre and pure Austin: eclectic, populist, with rough edges and lots of spirit. We can't wait for this year.
