Please help us give a warm thank you to our #BAPF2018 interns!

They came from all over the country; they are ambitious, talented & excited to have been a part of 2018’s Bay Area Playwrights Festival. Many of them are students or have graduated with theater-related degrees. Our internship program is positioned to offer professional experience with an established & renowned non-profit organization and to open doors to opportunities of working within the theater. Whether it was supporting the artistic team, or helping on the marketing and production fronts, our interns could be found working hard alongside our staff, to make #BAPF2018 another successful edition of our annual new play festival.

Our interns also worked together to create the 2018 Young Professionals Night. You can learn more about that here.
