Overview
The Marsh produces and presents more than 500 shows at theater spaces in San Francisco and Berkeley each year. The company specializes in producing solo shows, and several recent smash hits enabled it to double its earned revenues and expand its mainstage, youth, and work-in-progress programming. Renewed funding would enable The Marsh to continue its artist training programs, expand its emerging artist series, and develop organizational capacity to increase individual donor support.

for general operating support
The Marsh supports professional and amateur solo performance artists to develop and perform new works. Each year it presents 700 performances at its theaters in San Francisco and Berkeley, and offers year-round classes, an artist-in-residency program, and a theater arts program for children and youth for more than 42,000 people.
