26 Apr Announcing the #BAPF2018 Season
The cat’s out of the bag! We are thrilled to announce our 2018 line-up featuring a widely diverse and artistically challenging group of playwrights – all six are emerging talents. Echoing our turbulent times, their plays explore turning-points in past or future history, moments where worlds shift and the rules change.

“#BAPF2018 will be 
a super-charged ride into six completely different worlds. The Festival includes everything that’s exciting about theater – stories that engage and enrage you, that allow you to imagine the power of the individual to fight back, that make you laugh, make you feel deeply, and take you on a journey to new places. More than that, being in the room when a play is raw and unfinished is an intimate invitation to your imagination. Every year, Festival plays and playwrights go on to productions around the Bay Area and the nation. By coming to the Festival, you get to be there from the beginning.”
