Program areas at Playwrights Foundation
The biennial bay area Playwrights festival is pf's longest running program since 1976. Bapf offers five writers an intensive laboratory environment for development of a new work over the course of a 12-month program culminating in a hybrid festival with multiple stages of creative development including three development phases: 3 day artist retreat, a virtual table read, and a 2 week intensive process that culminates in 2 public readings with the option to release their readings on demand to a national audience.
The producing partners initiative leverages relationships and form ongoing partnerships with producers, play development organizations, businesses, and other entities to advance the careers of alumni Playwrights.
The resident Playwrights program provides an array of support and resources for a select number of bay area Playwrights in a multi-year residency as they individually pursue their professional playwriting careers.
