3Girls Theatre Company

3GT develops, promotes and presents new plays by women playwrights. Founded in 2011 for the express purpose of challenging the cultural bias that favors men’s voices over women’s on stage, we're proud to be one of very few companies in the nation that exclusively support women playwrights and their work. 3GT started with a single project, the Salon Reading Series: monthly staged readings of new plays written by a small cohort of seasoned Bay Area women playwrights “in their prime.” Under the leadership of Executive Artistic Director and Founding Playwright AJ Baker, 3GT has grown into a company that offers development and production opportunities to an ever-expanding group of women theatre-makers who reflect the uniqueness and diversity of our region. Our programs now include readings, works-in-progress, full productions and New Works Festivals drawn from five development projects: the Salon Series, GirlWrights, LezWritesBTQ, 3GT Innovators, and 3GT Investigates. These projects develop new plays written by Bay Area women for both traditional and experimental theatre, empower young women and girls, and nurture LBTQ and BIPOC playwrights. Hundreds of Bay Area theatre-makers who share our vision – across ages, perspectives and genders –now collaborate each year with 3GT to “put women’s work onstage, where it belongs.” 3GT Pr
