Governor Newsom said it best — the arts connect us, strengthen communities, and power California’s economy.

Playwrights Project is thankful for the Governor's leadership and recognition of the impact of the arts in California. Now, in the California Arts Council’s 50th year, let’s build on that leadership and invest in the next 50! ❤️
