Each month, from October through March, PlayGround announces a topic to a pre-selected writers pool of Bay Area emerging professional playwrights, inviting submissions of original ten-page plays. The top short plays are selected and presented as script-in-hand staged readings on the third Monday of the month, featuring some of the Bay Area’s best directors and actors. All performances are offered in-person and live simulcast, as well as admission-free (donations gratefully accepted), for maximum accessibility. NEW: Purchase a tax-deductible Monday Night PlayGround Membership ($50) and guarantee simulcast and extended on-demand access to all SF Bay Area, performances (less than $10 per event or just $1.66 per play).
