FronteraFest 2025 Short Fringe: Saturday Best of Week! Shows chosen from earlier this week as those our panel and audiences would most like to see again. Listed in performance order. The rhythm, written and performed by Siobhan Cook, Zell Miller, III, and Jeffery “DaShade Moonbeam” Johnson. A fast-paced interactive exploration of rhythm using voice, word, feet, hands, spirit. A rapper named Jeffery “DaShade Moonbeam” Johnson, a dancer named Siobhan Cook, and a poet named Zell Miller, III explore rhythm and what keeps us connected, the very heartbeat that pushes on in a constant flow, until it doesn’t. The 'Dillo, by Lane Michael Stanley, directed by Trace Turner. A monologue about a queer boy who falls for a thong-wearing older man in 1970s Texas.
