Thick Description
Thick Description's name is an anthropological term, referring to the fact that when anyone describes an event, they interpret it as well. They produce and present fresh, new performances that draw upon the rich diversity of Bay Area theatrical talent. Founded in New York City in 1988, Thick Description is one of the smallest fully professional theaters in the country, receiving three Glickman Awards since 1994 for the best new play to premiere in the San Francisco Bay Area. The company's home is the Thick House on Potrero Hill; more than 60,000 people have passed through our doors since we opened the Thick House at the end of 1999.
