San Francisco
Our artistic purpose is to support and champion contemporary playwrights in the creation of new works, in order to sustain theater as a vital, dynamic art form. We seek to identify exceptional emerging artists across a broad spectrum of artistic and career positions, and support them in the inception and development of new plays that speak to and from an increasingly diverse society. Playwrights Foundation sustains a commitment to these playwrights, supplying them with the space and time to explore their ideas, untried experiments, and untested theories in an environment free from the pressures of the marketplace.
