PLAYOFFS 2017: AUDIENCE FAVORITES SHOWCASE
The Playwrights' Center of San Francisco proudly presents PLAYOFFS 2017, the newest incarnation of our now 17-year tradition of showcasing short plays by Bay Area playwrights. Our 2015 show won a TBA award for Outstanding Production of an Anthology, and last year's show has been nominated again. This November we present a collection of nine short plays: seven selected by audience vote during three preliminary rounds of readings, and two chosen by the production team. From shaved bees to reanimated goldfish, from the fifteenth-century to the not-so-distant future, from fateful first meetings to emotionally-charged reunions, these plays encompass a variety of genres, tones, and styles that range from hilarious to poignant and powerful.
PLAYOFFS 2017 runs Nov. 3-11 at Exit Stage Left, 156 Eddy St. San Francisco.
Our playwrights are Vonn Scott Bair, Elizabeth Flanagan, Amanda J. Lee, Charley Lerrigo, Lisa Mammel, Alyson Mead, Lorraine Midanik, Laylah Muran de Assereto, and L. "Z" Zephyr.
Featuring an ensemble cast: Kelly J. Kelly, Brian Bacchus Kennedy, Brian Levi, June Alane Reif, Karl Schackne, Brittany Sims, and Madison Worthington.
