EXIT Theatre

EXIT Theatre supports independent theater artists and small-budget theater companies by providing them with opportunities to perform. It commissions and develops new plays; provides low-cost theater rentals and production support; and produces the San Francisco Fringe Festival, the region’s largest grassroots theater festival, where 100 percent of the ticket revenue is paid to artists. Each year, more than 500 performances are presented to nearly 21,000 patrons at its five black-box theaters in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. Renewed support will help EXIT Theatre continue to provide independent theater for Bay Area artists and audiences.

The EXIT Theatre is the region's premiere venue for providing low-cost rentals and production support to independent theater artists and small-budget theater companies. Annually more than 600 performances are held at the EXIT's four black-box spaces before 20,000 patrons, nearly half of whom are under forty years old.
