Isn’t that how it always is? Finish a post, then think of more you wish you’d put in there? Well today that’s the case for me! I thought of some more things you should know about this year’s San Francisco Olympians Festival, and more reasons why you should give:
- You are helping fund 36 brand-spanking-new plays!
- Lots of women playwrights! Of the 30 playwrights, 17 of them are ladies.
- It’s also a fine arts festival! Brand new works will be created by local fine artists, making that art community here in the bay area bigger and stronger!
- You’re also supporting local directors and actors! It’s not just a festival for playwrights, we get everyone involved! And come November we’ll have actors perform the plays as staged readings at The Exit in downtown San Francisco.
- Tickets are low so everyone can afford to see the shows! Tickets are only $10!
