Intentional… Inclusive… Innovative…
Mini Fringe Festival at the Hamner Theater
Late Fall 2026
Three separate productions over three separate weekends, not your usual theatrical fare, a unique opportunity to see three very different kinds of performance:
Sat. and Sun., Nov. 7 and 8 – Fictional Names written and performed by Cassie Works with Cello and an ensemble of four. (Richmond based artists)
Fresh from the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, this solo performance piece opens the door to three characters from the play within the play that wants to be written…see what happens then!
Sat. and Sun., Nov. 14 and 15 – My Beliefs written and directedby Luiza Dale performed by Ezra Rose. (Richmond and Charlottesville based artists)
From the playwright: “A one-person play made of legal statements, formal oaths, spiritual incantations, historical events, and advice from friends, tracing one’s life convictions from youth to adulthood.”
Sat. and Sun., Dec. 5 and 6 – ALPHA written and performed by Lisa VillaMil with post-Fringe direction by Kittson O’Neill. (New York based artists)
Also from the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, a solo show told in a series of short scenes with direct address to the audience about how ambition can drive a person to isolation and make reaching out for help the hardest thing to do, through the story of the Yukon Quest, a perilous solo dogsled race, 1000 miles over treacherous, icy terrain.
All Sat. shows are at 7pm; Sun. matinees at 2pm. House opens 30 minutes before showtime.Reservations are suggested due to limited seating – call 434-960-5936 or email boomie@thehamnertheater.com

The Hamner Theater is located in Crozet Arts, 1408 Crozet Ave., in the back of the Field School. Bear left in the driveway and enter on the left. Handicapped access ramp and additional entrance on right of building.
Each show is roughly 60 minutes long and there will be an opportunity for post-show conversation with the artists.
