TICKETS MEMBERSHIPS PLAYBILL PEOPLE’S CHOICE 


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). Payment plans available.

Why admission-free?

PlayGround has made all programs admission-free to stream, watch on-demand, and at the door on show nights (subject to availability) in furtherance of our commitment to radical accessibility. If you are able, we hope that you’ll consider donating or purchasing a Monday Night Membership, recognizing that your direct support makes it possible for us to continue providing fair and equitable wages for professional artists while sustaining our radical accessibility efforts for all. We thank you for your generous support!
