HEAR Now is the audio equivalent of a film festival for contemporary audio story-telling in all its forms: live and scripted solo performances, multi-voiced performance, classic radio drama, experimental narrative, and much more. This four-day Festival offers a multi-faceted program showcasing the many forms of audio fiction and sound art story-telling in theaters and other “listening” venues. The Festival will present audio fiction programs that exemplify traditions of craftsmanship, as well as aesthetic and technological innovation.

The 2016 HEAR Now Festival will again be a gathering place where the work of master storytellers is celebrated and shared.

The following schedule is still ’under construction’ and subject to updates prior to June 8, 2016.
