PlayGround is the only theatre company in California to have Statewide, Northern, and Southern California New Play Competitions. PlayGround's 78 Member Statewide Writers Company, primarily based in San Francisco and Los Angeles, compete to write original plays in four-and-a-half days.

The November plays will be inspired by the topic REAP WHAT YOU SOW . As you sow, so shall you reap. (Galatians VI)
