Listen to this year’s keynote speaker, playwright Jonathan Spector (Eureka Day), talking about the role and impact of PlayGround for new playwrights.
Fund-A-Need Auction
We’re excited to announce that this year’s Fund-a-Need live auction will directly support 150+ playwrights participating in PlayGround’s incubator programs, including Monday Night PlayGround, the Festival of New Works, Playwright Residency Program, and PlayGround Commissions, helping to uplift new voices for the American Theatre, particularly those historically excluded.
Our goal: to raise $30,000 on September 16 in support of playwrights and playwright compensation. To achieve this goal, we are reaching out to the PlayGround community for tax-deductible donations at varying levels: $100, $250, $500, $1000, and $3000. Gala attendees can bid at multiple levels and naming opportunities are available for pledges starting at $5,000 per year. Bids can also be made via Venmo (@playgroundsf; phone 8541), Zelle (info@playground-sf.org), PayPal (info@playground-sf.org) or by texting your bid to 833-992-6677 (be sure to provide your full name).
