Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Cutting Ball Theater will serve youth from De Marillac Academy and Larkin Street Youth Services with theater enrichment and education, reaching at-risk, low income, immigrant, and homeless youth within San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. Youth will hone communication, critical thinking, and co-working skills with a programmatic emphasis on providing youth a toolkit for articulate and thoughtful expression that will serve them into adulthood.

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.”
