New Venue/New Night July 1

We have news about the Playwright Center and our residency. Z Space has decided to move to Project Artaud, a location which has lovely performance space. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the kind of space that makes sense for us: an affordable, available, small-medium-sized room for our Scene Nights and Developmental Readings.

Therefore, we will MOVE beginning July 1.

PCSF will now be in residence at Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory. Voice Factory provides performance space to a diverse group of artists, including LGBT, activist collectives and now, PCSF.

Voice Factory is conveniently located just west of the corner of 11th Street and Mission, at 1519 Mission Street (south side of Mission Street next to Firestone Tires).

This move will enable us to continue to hold twice-monthly Scene Nights and Developmental Readings. An added bonus is that we will be able to have our staged readings there, too!

With the move, we will also move our programs to Tuesday nights. We understand that many of you were happy we moved to Thursday nights, but the fact is we were unable to find affordable space with ongoing availability on that night. We are open to all suggestions and offers.

This is a six-month trial residency, and we welcome your comments about the new space and the new night.

Stay tuned!
