Update from the Artistic Director: September
3GT’s September calendar is absolutely packed with fabulous theater events by and featuring 3GT Resident Playwrights, Board members and friends. Right now your intrepid Artistic Director is blissfully (and gratefully) enjoying my annual writer’s retreat on the east coast. But I’ll be checking out as many of these amazing shows as I can and hope to see you all at one or more of them. Happy Fall!
- Now through September 6: This weekend is your last chance to see 3GT Board Member and actor Louis Parnell ‘s star turn in SF Playhouse’s production of INTO THE WOODS. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t miss! Tickets and info here.
