Potrero Stage: PlayGround Center for New Plays is a 99-seat state-of-the-art performance space and shared community resource located at 1695 18th Street in the heart of San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood, operated by PlayGround, and serving as home to some of the Bay Area’s leading new play developers and producers, including PlayGround, Crowded Fire, Golden Thread, and Playwrights Foundation, among others. The theater is located in the Goodman2 artist cooperative and was originally developed and operated by Thick Description’s Tony Kelly as Thick House until 2017. PlayGround completed a $300,00 capital campaign and following renovations, including a new HVAC system, the theater was reopened as Potrero Stage.
