Company Description

San Francisco Playhouse

Located in the heart of the Union Square Theater District, San Francisco Playhouse is the city’s Off-Broadway company, an intimate alternative to the larger more traditional Union Square theater fare. The San Francisco Playhouse in a nonprofit corporation that provides audiences the opportunity to experience professional theater with top-notch actors and world-class design in a setting where they are close to the action. The San Francisco Playhouse is committed to providing a creative home and inspiring environment where actors, directors, writers, designers, and theater lovers converge to create works that celebrate the human spirit.

Believing that theatre cultivates a more culturally well-rounded and empathetic society, SFPH executes our mission and engages our community through three robust core programs:

MAINSTAGE SEASON: Our award-winning Mainstage Season runs year-round, comprising of 6 shows that run between 5 and 11 weeks, being dark for only 6 weeks a year. Our Mainstage productions range from West Coast premieres coming to us directly from On- and Off-Broadway houses to World Premieres and reinvigorated classics.

NEW PLAY PROGRAM: Theatre is essential. This belief drives San Francisco Playhouse to encourage and facilitate the growth of playwrights and the development of new plays, with a focus on plays by women and people of color. We do so in the following four integral ways: our Commissions (including the 5 Year/20 Play Commission program); the Sandbox Series of world premieres; Workshops; and a monthly Reading Series.

RISING STARS THEATRE ATTENDANCE PROGRAM: Through partnerships with Bay Area High Schools, Rising Stars engages the next generation with innovative and accessible theatre. Sponsored in part by patrons, 300 high school students receive subscriptions to 4 Mainstage and/or Sandbox productions. Students receive pre-show, in-class preparations and engage in post-show discussions with the actors and patrons, bridging a dialogue between the audience of today and that of tomorrow. Students then write letters to their sponsors reflecting on their experience.

MISSION: To share stories that uplift our spirits, deepen self-awareness and nurture a compassionate community.

We are San Francisco's Empathy Gym
Our theater is an empathy gym where we come to practice our powers of compassion. Here, safe in the dark, we can risk sharing in the lives of the characters. We feel what they feel, fear what they fear, and love what they love. And as we walk through our doors we take with us greater powers of understanding to make our community a better place, one play at a time.

VALUES: Empathy, Excellence, Innovation, Collaboration, Yes
