Announcing our 2021-2022 Season, new Playwrights and Salon Series Winners!

Updated: Oct 25, 2021


ree

Welcome to the brave new world of (post?) pandemic theatre.


After nearly two years of gloom & Zoom, 3GT is (cautiously) taking back the stage! It's my joy and privilege to announce our newest Company members, our 2020-2021 Salon Series winners, and the 2021-2022 3GT Presents line-up of staged readings, showcases and scratch performances of new work by 3GT playwrights. Join us however feels best to you: live and in-person, or on your trusty screen. Either way, we can’t wait to show you what we're working on now!


On a personal note, my deepest gratitude to all of you who continued supporting 3GT – emotionally and financially – while stages went dark. Even though we couldn't see you in person, everyone at the Company felt and appreciated your support. We never gave up on our mission, and neither did you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.


I won’t pretend everything is back to normal, whatever that might be. But since when does making art require normalcy?


Our 10th Anniversary "Year of Yes" isn't over yet! Onward to a new decade of shared delight, surprise and inspiration.


Warmly,

ree






AJ Baker, Executive Artistic Director & Founding Playwright

CONGRATULATIONS SALON SERIES WINNERS!

Each year we look for Salon Series plays that could, with just a little more work, be ready for full production. 3GT honors those plays as Salon Series winners, and awards their playwrights an advanced script development workshop and resources to take their scripts to the next level. We're so proud of these four amazing writers! Keep an eye out -- you may be seeing their award-winning plays onstage soon. Click here to read all about our winners!
