3GT Reading Series
An intersectional space for our emerging writers to develop their original works-in-progress.
What:
3Girls Theatre’s (3GT) Reading Series supports emerging San Francisco playwrights who have been historically excluded from having their work produced: women over 40; Black, Indigenous, and women of color (BIWOC); and LBTQI+ women and artists assigned-female-at-birth. We provide everything a playwright needs to succeed, including paid dramaturgs, directors, casts, performance venue, and marketing support.
Who:
Each year, the Company invites emerging Bay Area women+ playwrights 40+ to apply for a slot in our Reading Series cohort by becoming a Brady Fellow. Our Brady Fellows Program offers artistic support, commitment and community to women+ theatre-makers "in their prime" who share 3GT's passion for bringing stories told by women+ to the stage. We provide each Brady Fellow with a professional team and resources, including a dramaturg, director and cast. We support their new play through drafts to a staged reading for a live audience, a springboard for further development. We will soon be introducing a new Fellowship to provide further opportunities emerging playwrights.
Where:
Our 2023-2024 Season includes readings twice a month starting in 2024: In the Fall, we will be workshopping with our cohort to develop a show for public readings. Our free monthly staged readings take place at the landmark Phoenix Theatre located in the San Francisco's vibrant Union Square cultural district. To get notified of our upcoming readings, sign up for our mailing list.
3GT is excited to announce the merging of our two most established and cherished programs! To create a sustainable space for our cohorts to create, we have combined LezWritesBTQ and Salon Series into one Program: 3GT Reading Series. These two programs were increasingly intersectional over the past few seasons, so 3GT's Leadership circle took this opportunity to bring these two programs together to give them more robust access to the time and resources we have to support our writers. We look forward to the work we will be doing with our cohort of writers this year and presenting their words via staged reading starting in early 2024!
UPDATE!
3GT's Reading Series Presents: The Whole Package has been postponed to 2025. Please join us for the remaining Readings this season AND we look forward to presenting this and more in our next season!
