Playwrights Foundation

Playwrights Foundation supports contemporary playwrights by helping them to develop and present new plays. Its programs include artist residencies, public readings, a biennial Bay Area Playwrights Festival, and coproduction partnerships. Its programs serve early- and mid-career playwrights, bridge the gap between play development and production, and help to create a more inclusive theatrical landscape. Across the history of the organization, the foundation has served well over 500 playwrights. Support of Playwrights Foundation aligns with the Performing Arts Program’s Artists strategy.
