We are one of the only 100% democratically-led theater companies in Los Angeles, and our members pay no dues to remain a member.

The mission of PlayGround-LA is to support the development of new local voices for the theatre. PlayGround-LA is L.A.’s leading playwright incubator, providing unique opportunities for the cultivation and development of early-career local playwrights and partnerships with leading professional directors, actors and theatres.

Nowhere else in the nation can young playwrights receive the prize of seeing their vision come to life on stage in a professional production featuring known actors from film, television and theatre. YPF plays a critical role in training and supporting the next generation of theatre artists. Many of these playwrights have gone on to successful writing careers in and out of the theatre.
