“Being a part of the festival made me feel like a part of a community,
which is truly priceless and for that I am grateful.”
-Abbey Glover (2024 Opener, 2026 Full Length)

Back for a 2nd year in 2026, all shows will be in-person and livestreamed, with 18 full-length performances paired with 18 short opening performances.

Select shows will include post-performance talkbacks with directors and dramaturgs.

The audience, always our partner, will provide feedback through post-performance surveys and have the opportunity to vote for Audience Choice Awards.

We hope you’ll join us, with your gift and in the audience, to bring these stories to life, In Front of Your Eyes.

Beyond tickets, passes, and our grateful love, we’re offering top sponsors a photo shoot with the amazing brilliant, celebrity photographer and mensch, Cynthia Smalley.
