General Info

Magic Theatre is in its 51st year of operation as one of San Francisco's top theatres dedicated to the production of bold new plays. Magic is focused on cultivating new plays, playwrights, and audiences – and the production of explosive, entertaining, and ideologically robust plays that ask substantive questions about, and reflect the rich diversity of, the world in which we live. Magic got its start with the World Premiere of playwrights such as Sam Shepard and Michael McClure. In recent years Magic has been joined by many of today’s most exciting playwrights, such as Linda McLean, Teresa Rebeck, Lloyd Suh, Julie Marie Myatt, Christina Anderson, Luis Alfaro, Taylor Mac, and Mfoniso Udofia. Since Artistic Director, Loretta Greco, assumed leadership of Magic in 2008, the theatre has produced 22 world premieres, 17 of which have enjoyed extended life beyond the Magic stage, throughout the U.S. and abroad.Magic Theatre is in its 51st year of operation as one of San Francisco's top theatres dedicated to the production of bold new plays.
