In addition to its thirteen-project annual season reaching 20,000 audience members and including four world premieres, Brava provides arts education and job training programs for youth. Through its small but dynamic staff, Brava has become a recognized artistic voice in the Bay Area and remains committed to hiring 90 percent of its artists locally. Brava has made great strategic and leadership strides in the last several years and is well positioned for continued success in creating and presenting new, innovative theater.
