DONATE FUND-A-NEED AUCTION GALA PLAYBILL PLAYGROUND HEROES

Join us at PlayGround’s hybrid in-person and remote gala to celebrate the expanding national scope of PlayGround’s programming and honor this year’s PlayGround Heroes: Joy Carlin, Lauren Yee and The Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation. With Monday Night PlayGround programs and Writers Pools in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, the One PlayGround Gala brings together these 4 hubs to celebrate PlayGround’s national presence and impact. The gala will take place at San Francisco’s Potrero Stage, Los Angeles’ Broadwater Plunge, Chicago’s Theater Wit, and NYC’s The Producers Club, as well as at satellite locations across the country, with options to participate both in-person and remotely. The evening will feature a four-course gourmet meal, artist testimonials, and performances by artists from around the country, utilizing PlayGround’s well-honed hybrid model of both in-person and live-streamed performance. This special celebration will celebrate and support PlayGround’s efforts to create even more opportunities for working artists across the country and establish a national network for the most promising new voices and their artistic collaborators. Co-hosted by David Cramer, Scott Gryder, Cathleen Riddley, Wiley Naman Strasser, Rebbekah Vega-Romero, and William Warren.
