VisionFest

LiveWire established VisionFest in 2008 as a community-driven festival featuring new, unique guidelines each year chosen by a public vote. Each year, we choose 6 to 10 plays to present at the festival. Programs are provided with ample space for the audience to offer feedback to the playwrights on their piece. View submission map.

Past VisionFest guidelines have been:

VisionFest 2008 -- Surrouding the theme of Control
VF2009 -- Taking place on a Street Corner
VisionFest 3 -- Surrounding the theme of Feast; and utilizing the line, "I can't remember the last time we were all together."
VF4 -- Inspired by Breanne Duffy's Rockets or Josephine Ferorelli's Untitled

For this year's festival, LiveWire asked the community, What "Play on 5" should VisionFest submissions be guided by? With 25% of the vote, Johnny 5 is Alive -- plays dealing with technology's influence on society (or what happens when things short circuit) is the unique guideline playwrights must follow when writing plays for VisionFest 5.

PLAY SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: SUBMISSIONS CLOSED.
