It produces 8 full productions of professional merit each season, with a total of over 100 shows, reaching an audience of over 7500 people of all ages in 2019. Each production is curated from contemporary and classic plays, as well as a local, new play festival that supports local playwrights in northern nm in addition to hosting free readings and development opportunities for new playwrights and their works. The santa fe playhouse is committed to inclusivity in our audience and programming, providing assisted listening services, audience outreach, and a host of social media and extra-theatrical content. On a year-round basis, the playhouse contracts with, trains, and encourages early, mid, and late-career theater artists, preparing and furthering the development of our craft and artistry. Atop our full production season, the santa fe playhouse pioneered and manages an education program called the young playwrights project. This educational endeavor helps underserved and often at-risk youths ages 8-16 in the northern nm community. In 2019, our young playwrights project reached over 65 students, holding 2-3 classes each week. Through improvisation, writing exercises, and group creativity, the young playwrights project works with youths in conflict resolution, creative expression, and improvements in literacy. An engaged leader in the theater community, the santa fe playhouse also lends space, technical equipment, costumes, and other needed material to local, smaller community theatres and arts programs in schools.”
