New Play Development Program
FULL-LENGTH PLAYS AND NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT (Mainstage and New Threads) In addition to the production of full-length plays, Golden Thread ensures the discovery and development of new playwrights and plays through commissions and development programs such as readings and workshops. New Threads is an annual staged reading and workshop series that engages its audience in the process of playmaking and allows writers of Middle Eastern and non-Middle Eastern descent an authentic and supportive space to develop work about the Middle East. Many of the New Threads plays continue on to receive main stage productions.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$340.5KCommunity Outreach and Support

REORIENT FESTIVAL AND FORUM (ReOrient) The ReOrient Festival of Short Plays was inaugurated in 1999 to present alternative perspectives of the Middle East and to showcase the multiplicity of stories, voices and styles from the region and has since becomes Golden Threads most recognized and celebrated program. This ambitious festival, now presented biennially, turns San Francisco into a Mecca for innovative, spirited, and thought-provoking theatre from and about the Middle East. Alongside Middle Eastern voices, ReOrient also features the work of non-Middle Eastern playwrights. In 2009, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the festival, Golden Thread has organized the ReOrient Forum, a weekend-long convening in San Francisco aimed at expanding the dialogue on theatre, the Middle East, and current hot topics that illuminate the regions relationship with the US.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$3.5K
