Playwrights Foundation builds a discerning and diverse pool of theater makers to join our National Reading Committee each year for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival selection process. In many years, over 500 playwrights submit their work to the festival and over 50 readers join us to evaluate and select the winning scripts.

If you are a theater artist, producer, or literary manager invested in the world of new plays, we want your voice in our selection process. Practitioners in all phases of career development are encouraged to apply.
