Building off last year's success, LiveWire is proud to announce our second annual VisionFest. This year, LiveWire conducted an online poll looking for the right "Environment" in which to set our plays in. The results are in and 'Street Corner' received the most votes with 24%.

Polls and submissions are now closed!
Check back soon for more details on the production!!!

LiveWire established VisionFest is to expose new works to the community and get the community involved in new works. Besides helping us choose an "Environment", or a "Theme" (as we did last year), audience members in attendance are offered the chance to provide feedback to the playwrights and artists on the development of the pieces presented.
