Can you believe we've been doing this for 50 years? In honor of this huge milestone, we have an ambitious goal to raise $250,000 so we can continue to support theatremakers for generations to come.

Since our founding, Theatre Bay Area has touched the lives of thousands of theatremakers and theatre lovers. We meet behind the scenes with grants, fellowships, and auditions, or even sitting in the audience beside you during Bay Area Theatre Week. Now, we are asking you to support our commitment to the Bay Area theatre ecology by helping us reach our $250,000 goal in honor of our 50th anniversary.
