Each month, from October through March, PlayGround announces a topic to a pre-selected writers pool of Bay Area 
emerging professional playwrights, inviting the submission of original ten-page plays. The best six of these plays are 
presented as staged readings before a live audience on the third Monday of the month at Berkeley Repertory Theatre,
 featuring some of the Bay Area's best directors and actors. Pre-show discussions each month provide additional insight 
into the writers' process, the state of Bay Area theatre, and other aspects emerging out of the monthly topics. This 
critically acclaimed new plays series is now completing its twelfth season.
