Here's What We're Doing
We are six Bay Area playwrights. Over the next three years, we will produce six new plays.
Our plays will be formally inventive, small budget and San Francisco Bay Area themed. We aim to make plays that reflect our community. Performances will be public and low-cost.
Inspired by the 13P model, we put the production process in the hands of the playwright. Each playwright will act as artistic director for her or his own production.
We are not a theater company. We are making theater, not running a theater for longevity. We believe in community -- if you help us, we'll buy you a beer.

Here's What We've Done
Champagne
By Barry Eitel
Directed by LeeAnn Dowd
June 21 - July 15, 2018
Pop some bottles, zip up your hoodies and prepare to get disrupted this summer.
CHAMPAGNE, a world premiere by 6NewPlays founding member Barry Eitel, is a wild rampage through one party at a Pacific Heights mansion for Chatwick, the latest buzzy social media network.
Through a haze of ego and booze, the company and its founders are crucified by a collection of mistakes, from selling off reams of user data to murdering fellow executives. Amid the scandal and bootstrapping, programmers fall in love, ballerinas find peace and the quantified self is finally achieved. The play mashes together music, dance and spectacle for an unforgettable journey through the dark side of the Web 2.0 world.
CHAMPAGNE runs June 21 to July 15:
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm
Sundays at 3:00pm
Performances @ The Randall Museum
199 Museum Way
San Francisco, CA 94114
