Playwrights Foundation, the West Coasts premiere launchpad for exceptional plays and playwrights, is presenting the 45th annual Bay Area Playwrights Festival (BAPF), featuring five new plays by five exceptional voices. The 2022 festival will be presented in a hybrid format, offering opportunities to experience new plays in-person and via streaming.Spotlighting the power of human connection, the 2022 BAPF features ten readings of five new works, including HBO and Shondaland screenwriter/playwright Inda Craig-Galvns "A Jumping-Off Point", a taut, biting comedy about a Black female screenwriter facing plagiarism claims from a White male author; award-winning novelist Elana Dykewomons first play "How to Let Your Lover Die", a poetic and silence-shattering exploration of love, caregiving, and illness in a community of lesbian elders; acclaimed Bay Area performer and playwright Denmo Ibrahims "An Arab Spring", an intimate drama of luminous personal revolution between siblings; multitalented writer/director/actor Iraisa Ann Reillys "Saturday Mourning Cartoons", a boldly theatrical bilingual family drama about a millennial healthcare worker and three generations of unbreakable bonds; and award-winning director/playwright Sharifa Yasmins "Close to Home", a witty deep dive into resilience, belonging, and the yearning for second chances among a trio of strangers from different cultures set in the American South.
