Come see where the theater pros go to play on their night off. Now in its 18th season, PlayGround identifies a select group of the Bay Area's best emerging professional playwrights and asks them to submit original ten-page plays -- all on a pre-determined single topic. From those submissions, six short works are chosen for staged readings to be performed by leading local directors and actors each month. Pre-show discussions provide further insight into the chosen topic, the writers' processes and more.

* Additional fees apply.

This is great fun, very hit or miss (as well it should be...new plays are always gonna be all over the place), fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants energy, affordable tickets (even without Goldstar), creative atmosphere...I'm impressed with this group's intentions and execution.

Four of the six playettes were really fun and it would be interesting to see where they go from here. Lots of potential.

Description

Each month during the season, PlayGround announces a topic to a pre-selected writers pool of Bay Area emerging professional playwrights, inviting the submission of original ten-page plays. The best six of these plays are presented as staged readings before a live audience on the third Monday of the month at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, featuring some of the Bay Area's best directors and actors.

The topics for this season are yet to be announced. Keep an eye on http://www.playground-sf.org/monday.shtml for details.
