EXIT Theatre was founded in 1983 when Artistic Director Christina Augello staged an original play in the lobby of a Tenderloin residential hotel with retired vaudevillians, young method actors and other Tenderloin residents. The mission was, and remains 40 years later, to provide a home for artists to perform . We do this by providing artists opportunities to create, experiment, and grow by commissioning and producing new works, providing production support and low-cost theater rentals, and producing performance festivals. EXIT Theatre operates a theater in San Francisco and one in Arcata as well as producing in other alternative venues and community spaces.
