The 2024 festival line-up features 2 SFBATCO commissions, 1 SFBATCO co-production, 1 presentation by Z Space, and a showcase of works from our beloved Creators Lab program.
All five of these dynamic projects are in various stages of development, and the festival offerings range from staged readings to fully memorized workshop productions.

Produced by the San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Company (SFBATCO), the inaugural New Roots Theatre Festival is a cultural festival that represents the global community in the Bay Area and celebrates artistic works dedicated to the stories of Black, Indigenous and People Of Color (BIPOC) and and LGBTQIA+ voices.
The idea was born in 2020, when SFBATCO Artistic Director Rodney Earl Jackson Jr. read a post in the Bay Area Theatre Facebook group from a local artist who asked, "Where are all the BIPOC organizations?" Jackson and SFBATCO Literary Manager Aidaa Peerzada then set out to design a festival that would unite various arts organizations and provide a platform for experimentation and creative exchange.
