About

The Bay One Acts (BOA) Festival is dedicated to supporting, promoting and producing short plays by San Francisco Bay Area playwrights. BOA produces dynamic original short theatrical plays, showcasing adventurous and innovative Bay Area playwrights and small theaters. Below is a promotional video for BOA 9 which explains the focus of the festival.

The Bay One Acts Festival is principally produced by Three Wise Monkeys Theatre Company, a 501 c3 nonprofit arts organization dedicated to cultivating new theatrical work in the Bay Area.

Three Wise Monkeys was founded by Richard Bernier, Dawson Moore and Aoise Stratford in 2001.  Richard Bernier served 3WM as its Executive Director for 9 years and was the vital life force that sustained and nurtured BOA.  Richard passed away in October 2010 as after a long struggle with cancer. BOA X was dedicated to his life and legacy.

Jessica Holt became the new Artistic Director in August 2009. Under her leadership, BOA is transforming the landscape of independent theatremaking in San Francisco, providing an annual month-long gathering space for local theatre artists to create and produce new work, share and swap new ideas and foster new relationships which will grow future collaborations with one another.
