Theatre Bay Area

“How you get an entire sector back on its feet after 18 months of closure is really difficult and we're going to need support for years”-Brad Erickson

In this episode our featured voice is the Executive Director of Theater Bay Area, Brad Erickson. We wanted to host Theater Bay Area because they are another one of our long-time performing arts organizations that are focused on the incubation and support of the san Francisco Bay Area performing arts ecosystem.

As a response to the Covid-19 pandemic impact on our performing arts workers, Theater Bay Area created the performing arts worker’s fund. To amplify the impact of the performing arts workers fund Brad and his team brought together both the Dancers’s Group and InterMusicSF to participate in the performing arts worker’s fund.
