Monday Night PlayGround

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 ($100) and guarantee simulcast and extended on-demand access to all twenty-four (24) Monday Night PlayGround performances in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago (less than $5 per event or just $.69 per play). Payment plans available.
