It is distinguished for supporting playwrights through the process of conceiving, writing, developing, and premiering new plays. Each year, the organization typically produces four plays, the majority of which are world premieres, reaching audiences of more than 6,400. It also offers theater education and performance opportunities for children, college students, and adults through its programs in San Francisco and Oakland. This grant to Magic Theatre advances the Performing Arts Program’s Communities strategy.
