Playground, Inc.

Description

• PlayGround is the Bay Areas leading playwright incubator, providing unique opportunities for the cultivation and development of early-career local playwrights and partnerships with leading professional directors, actors and theatres. Since 1994, PlayGround has developed and staged nearly 700 original ten-minute plays by 200 early-career writers, and is now the leading Bay Area developer of short works for the stage. The company has also become one of the most important commissioners of full-length work by new writers, with 50 full-length commissions completed since 2002 and 3 new works currently in development. Over the past 7 years, PlayGround has also directly supported the full production of commissioned works in partnership with Bay Area professional theatres and in 2010 launched the New Play Production Fund (NPPF) to help increase production of new plays by local playwrights. During the past 20 seasons, PlayGrounds alumni have gone on to win local, national and international honors for their short and full-length work, including recognition at the NY International Fringe Festival, Humana Festival, Sundance Festival, and Bay Area Playwrights Festival, among others. In a 2008 Theatre Bay Area Magazine article on the Bay Areas top up-and-coming playwrights, 9 of 13 were PlayGround alumni. PlayGround was recognized with the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circles 2009 Paine Knickerbocker Award and the Playwrights Foundation's inaugural New Play Champion Award.
