We are kicking off our 2025-2026 Fundraising campaign with the goal to raise $25,000 to continue our mission to support and celebrate women+ playwrights!
YOUR HELP IS MORE VITAL NOW THAN EVER!
3Girls Theatre develops, promotes, and presents new plays by emerging SF Bay Area women+ playwrights over 40 years of age. Founded in 2011 to challenge gender bias within theater, we provide dedicated support to a cohort that is multiracial, multigenerational, and includes cis and trans women, gender non-conforming artists, and trans men.
3GT provides an artistic home for SF Bay Area women+ playwrights at all stages of their creative and professional process. Our community, programming, and artist services provide playwrights with everything they need to develop and produce their scripts.
Which amounts make the most Impact?
Monthly Giving Opportunities
We now can accept monthly and yearly scheduled donations. These donations enable us to plan ahead and secure funds for our programs and playwrights. Examples of what a monthly donation can do for us include (but are not limited to):
-
$50 - Marketing and Media: A monthly donation of this amount helps in keeping our digital footprint with updating our website and social media to keep our audiences informed and able to see our readings.
-
$20 - Supplies for rehearsals and performances: a monthly donation of this amount will help keep the 3GT office stocked with items needed when the Dramaturg, Playwright, Directors and Actors gather. We supply binders, food, stationary items, and pencils letting the artists focus solely on their reading performance.
-
$10 - Online Digital Access: A monthly donation of this amount helps us to maintain our online access so we can utilize digital tools to support and manage our playwright's team and needs.
One Time Donations
Any amount helps at any time! Examples of where donations can be used are:
-
$3000 - Reading Producer: A one-time donation of this amount covers all production costs associated with a 3GT Staged Reading: compensation for all artists, venue rental fee, script printing, and other associated costs.
-
$1500 - Workshop Producer: A one-time donation of this amount covers the cost of 3GT Professional Development Workshop, which offers skills to succeed as a professional artist to the 3GT community for FREE.
-
$500 - Venue Rental: A one-time donation of this amount will give a script a physical home by supporting us to rent rehearsal spaces and venues for our Playwrights’ Readings.
-
$300 - Playwright Fee: A one-time donation of this amount compensates a Playwright for her artistic expertise and labor during the rehearsal process for her Reading.
-
$100 - Script Printing: A one-time donation of this amount gives our Playwrights the ability to print scripts for actors and other collaborators, so they can take notes and stay present during rehearsals and readings.
-
$25 - Ticket to a 3GT Show: A one-time donation of this amount is equal to the cost of a ticket, and gives us the ability to keep 3GT performances accessible to all. 3GT practices Radical Hospitality, meaning no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.

Creating opportunities for women+ theatre-makers
As 3GT celebrates our 14th year we’re more passionate than ever about bringing you new plays by women+ theatre-makers. But to do it, we need your support! In 2011, 3Girls Theatre Company’s founding mission was frequently met with bemused indulgence. Today everyone’s talking about the importance of hearing women’s voices, on stage and everywhere else.
​​​
Where Do Your Tax-Deductible Contributions Go?
The largest part of your donation goes to compensating our artists and staff for their time and talent. 3GT is committed to paying meaningful stipends to the playwrights, directors, dramaturgs, performers, designers and other theatre artists who help 3GT bring new plays to life. In addition, donor dollars make it possible for 3GT to offer all of our performances either completely free to the public or on a sliding scale at the door by underwriting production costs.​
​
Why Do Arts-Lovers Like You Support 3Girls Theatre?
Because like you, they believe the voices of women deserve to be heard onstage. 3Girls Theatre Company challenges the status quo by developing, promoting and presenting plays made by Bay Area women+ artists. 3GT is one of very few companies nationwide that both develop and produce exclusively new work by women+ theatre-makers. But we’re only able to do it thanks to the support of our community.
​​
Experience Theatre Created by Women!
3GT started with a single program, the Salon Reading Series: monthly staged readings of new plays written by a small cohort of seasoned Bay Area women playwrights “in their prime.” Today, our company offers development and performance opportunities to an ever-expanding group of women theatre-makers who reflect the uniqueness and diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area.
