Bay Area Playwrights Festival

Just spent three days last week at the playwright’s pre-fest retreat for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival. Blown away is the only way to describe it. Playwrights read their plays in front everyone at the retreat, and it was awesome. This is a works-in-progress kind of thing, and Playwrights Foundation Artistic Director Amy Mueller has created an environment that allows writers to work on their plays and help them grow.

All of the plays and playwrights I saw rocked: Kevin Oakes, Annie Baker, Julie Hébert, Zakiyyah Alexander, Sam Hunter, Chris Chen, Aaron Loeb, Marisela Orta, Denize Springer.

Roll out and see these plays (complete schedule)
at the Magic, and if you can’t make it, definitely come see these playwrights when their plays come to your town.
