Formerly Thick House Theater, the performance space initially developed by Tony Kelly and Thick Description celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2020. In 2015, PlayGround signed the master lease for the space and took over operation. Following a successful capital campaign and renovation (including a new HVAC system!), the theater was relaunched in January 2017 under its new name, Potrero Stage. Over the past six years, Potrero Stage has hosted over 500 performances and 25,000 attendees.

For more information or theatre use inquiries, please contact PlayGround Artistic Director Jim Kleinmann at (415) 992-6677 or email jim@playground-sf.org.
