GENIUS, MADNESS AND MURDER: TALES OF THE SCANDALOUS FAMILY OF JOHN WILKES BOOTH

Asia Booth Clarke - She was a member of one of America’s most colorful and infamous theatrical dynasties: her father, “The Mad Tragedian” as famed for his lunatic exploits as his acting, her one brother “the prince of players, and her other brother, Lincoln’s assassin and the most hated man in America. As she wrestles with this complicated legacy, she recounts stories of the many triumphs, scandals and tragedies of the Booths, with humor and the trademark Booth theatricality, as well as some little-known facts about that great national tragedy that forever changed her life and the country we live in. Written and performed by award winning playwright and actress, Dawn Truax, it is "a vibrant, insightful and often humorous performance, full of wit, charm and pathos". "A one-woman tour de force."

The highlights continue with a new act to the FW Fringe - Mujeres Sin Miedo.

Passes are available now - All Fringe Passes grant access to all shows at the FW Fringe, while 2 and 4 show passes offer customization options allowing you to choose your shows and times ahead of time.

MUJERES SIN MIEDO

Mujeres Sin Miedo is a new spoken word ensemble comprised of Latina poets and performers—based in DFW and founded/directed by Tammy Melody Gomez. Mujeres Sin Miedo had their debut performance as an ensemble of seven women for SparkFest at Amphibian Stage Productions in Fort Worth in June 2026.

Members of this exciting ensemble have previously performed as professional actors on many DFW stages, including Artes de la Rosa, Teatro Dallas, Cara Mia Theatre, and Latino Cultural Center in Dallas. Several of these women, as visual artists, have had work featured in exhibits in galleries such as Kinfolk House (FW), Oak Cliff Cultural Center, and Latino Cultural Center.

Each ensemble member is a creative writer and most of them have published books of poetry or individual poems in literary journals. As dramatists, several members have participated in devised theatre projects and developed their own performance monologues.

To lift up her voice and speak her truth is what 21st century women increasingly are doing: to dispel the darkness of lies, to bring awareness about how women live and think and love, and to let others witness how we find joy in the celebration of our lives—no matter the struggles and hardships we might have faced. Mujeres Sin Miedo bring their poetry to the stage, with song, hand drumming, movement/dance, passion, and humor.

Latinas are having their say, and it feels good to hear them share their exuberant words of wisdom and witness.

We've highlighted a number of our performing acts in our posts, but we're changing things up as we approach the festival.

Appearing for the first time at the FW Fringe is Olivia Geron and her piece "kNOw."

This work is inspired by the anatomy and function of the heart and explores the development of shape and gesture using initiations from specific body parts.

Originally from El Paso, Texas, Olivia trained and performed with Ballet El Paso, Compañίa National de Danza in Mexico City, MX, and as a principal dancer with the Montgomery Ballet. Olivia attended the University of Texas at El Paso, where she graduated with a B.F.A in Dance. She received her M.F.A. in Dance from Texas Woman’s University.

Olivia is allergic to conformity as she finds it chokes honesty. As a dance artist she seeks to free the restraints that codified forms of dance techniques can sometimes harbor by creating spaces for experimentation at the intersection of anatomy and improvisation.

Performance Schedule:
Friday, Sept 11 @ 7:20pm
Saturday, Sept 12 @ 2:20pm
Sunday, Sept 13 @ 5:50pm

Tickets for kNOw can be purchase at https://buy.ticketstothecity.com/purchase.php?event_id=20522

Kevin Velasquez – Mansfield, TX – 3rd time at FW Fringe

GRILLED CHEESE

On the night his mother comes over for dinner, David is determined to prove he can finally make it on his own. In his first apartment—complete with carefully set table, flickering candles, and a simple meal he hopes will impress—David has planned the perfect evening.

But as the night unfolds, small cracks begin to show. Old habits, unspoken fears, and the quiet presence of their inner thoughts reveal just how difficult it is to redefine a lifelong bond. As mother and son navigate expectations, independence, and the fear of letting go, a burnt grilled cheese sandwich becomes the center of a deeply human moment neither of them anticipated.

Tender, heartfelt, and quietly powerful, Grilled Cheese is a story about growing up, holding on, and the courage it takes to let go—on both sides of the table.

Harper Jones & Co. – Dallas, TX – FW Fringe Debut

I GRIEVE DIFFERENT

"I Grieve Different" is a solo, multi-character theatrical piece centered on The Child, a young Black woman navigating grief after her grandmother’s death. Guided by suppressed ancestral melodies, the story unfolds in the family home during the repass, where memory, judgment, love, and silence collide. As The Child processes her grief, she is drawn into her family’s unknown past, rooted in a small town called Tatum, 150 miles east of Dallas, where family and faith are inseparable, perfection is expected, and legacy conceals deeply buried truths.

By uncovering the secrets and sacrifices that shaped her family long before she could name them, she witnesses Lucky, a hustler driven by survival; Victoria, silenced by abuse and erasure; and Chantel, caught between expectations and disappointment while pursuing a life that was never fully hers. As her understanding of family and faith begins to unravel, The Child faces the truth that grief and legacy are intertwined, and that secrets kept in the name of preservation ultimately come to light. I Grieve Different questions whether breaking inherited silence is an act of betrayal or strength, offering an intimate exploration of Black womanhood, generational trauma, and the fragile hope of becoming.
