With support from the California Arts Council, 3Girls Theatre will produce the world premiere of ‘Tasha by Cat Brooks. CAC funds will be used to compensate Black women artists and community engagement organizers for their work. Performances will occur at Z Below in San Francisco March 3-25, 2023.
3GT is the only theatre company on the West Coast – and one of three nationwide – committed to exclusively developing and presenting theatre made by women+.
3GT provides an artistic home for San Francisco women+ playwrights (which includes cis and trans women, trans men, and nonbinary/genderqueer artists assigned-female-at-birth) at all stages of their creative and professional process:
-3GT’s Reading Series supports emerging women+ playwrights over 40
-3GT Investigates commissions teams of BIPOC women+ writers to research and dramatize social justice issues, connecting them with community partners
-3GT Workshops offer FREE creative and professional development opportunities throughout the year to support 3GT playwrights and engage other women+ artists in SF
-3GT Presents, our performance initiative, connects artists to audiences around SF
-Our biennial New Works Festival brings together all of our artists and their audiences
3GT assists our playwrights in finding further production and funding opportunities, and invites local theater producers to attend Staged Readings and encourages them to produce our scripts in upcoming seasons. These connections, costs, and technical expertise are daunting and prohibitive for emerging playwrights, especially senior women, queer and trans artists, and artists of color.
Because lack of reasonable compensation is continuously cited as a major barrier for low-income and BIPOC artists, we pay everyone fairly for their work.
