The Fre is a new play by Taylor Mac, directed by Mylo Cardona, set in a land where a rambunctious group of anti-intellectuals called The Fre spend their days cavorting in the mud until a dandy aesthete named Hero arrives, longing to escape the mud pit. Part mud-riot, part rave, this queer, all-ages love story stages polarization inside a literal ball pit, exploring freedom across class and tribal lines. The cast features Myles Bell, Kiril Bolotnikov, Juleanne Millan as Franny Fre, Danni Blackman as Billy Fre, L.T. Schuster as (Honk) Shoe Fre, Arielle Powell as Taylor Mac, and Kendi Omalade as Young Taylor Mac. The production is the fourth in Oakland Theater Project's 2026 Season: The Land of The Free.
