Organization Summary

Cutting Ball Theater (CBT) is a theater and Tenderloin neighborhood community anchor with creative programming centering experimental new plays and radically re-envisioned classics. CBT produces plays in our intimate space, to connect Bay Area audiences and artists through shared moments of live storytelling. Our plays center historically-excluded voices and experiences, and challenge the norms of how stories are told. We support artists in exploring their creativity, in working environments where personal well-being is our priority. The Tenderloin of San Francisco is our home, and we are committed to being an accountable partner to our neighbors. CBT also operates a year-round education program for low-income youth in the Tenderloin. American Theatre Magazine has called CBT “synonymous with some of the best small theatre the Bay Area has to offer.”
