“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 (IFOYE 2024 Opener, 2026 Full Length)

In Front Of Your Eyes Festival 2026 continues its focus on developing work by Women and Nonbinary creators.

Since the first IFOYE festival in 2024, a multitude of its shows have blossomed and gone on to successful runs at The Marsh and other venues. We are thrilled to see their continued development.

The 2026 festival will be both in-person and livestreamed, and will include full-length performances with short opening performances. Select performances will have post-performance talkbacks with directors and dramaturgs.

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