BOA X: In the Works!

We are very excited that planning has finally begun in earnest for BOA X. Plays are making final selection, directors are signing on, producing partners are lining up and the look of the festival is being hashed out.

A formal announcement will be made in early December listing all of the BOA X players. For now, we can tell you that BOA X will feature a return of many of the favorites of last year's BOA, as well as some fabulous new artists.

We will continue to build our COMMUNITY by focusing on the ways in which we have grown together over the past year and have COLLABORATED to create adventurous, innovative and bold new work together. BOA X will be a celebration of our collaborations together and a breeding ground for the future collaborations between the artists of the BOA community. The festival will feature kick-ass new work that represents the best of small theatre!

BOA X will take place at Boxcar Theatre again this year in March 2011.

Specific dates and program information coming soon!

Boxcar Theatre
505 Natoma Street, SF
(between 6th and 7th and Mission and Howard)

Program 1 Rocks Group Table Read

The Monkeys had a blast this past Monday night listening to a Program 1 Group Table Read. The theme of this year's festival is community, and Monday night's showing affirmed this. Over 35 people -- playwrights, directors, actors, designers from both Program 1 and Program 2 -- came out to read, listen, schmooze and nosh. The casual group read was a huge success!

Thanks to all of our resident artists from Sleepwalkers Theatre, Piano Fight, No Nude Men, Climate, Threshold, Playpen, and Instrumental for being there!

We heard these comments from our fellow collaborators as they walked out the door:

"Looks like a seriously great line-up for program 1" -- Crish Barth (Playwright, Reading with Friends, Program 1)

"These plays are hilarious!" -- Paul Cello (Director, Reading with Friends, Program 1)

"Awesome read-through! Got me pumped for the festival. Great plays and talented actors!" -- Patrick Barresi (Actor, Altered Landscape, Program 1)

Three Wise Monkeys is stoked and looking forward to next weeks Program 2 Group Table Read to be held at Piano Fight's Off-Market Space!
