History
Founded in 1997 by Rebecca Novick with a group of young artists interested in experimental contemporary theater, Crowded Fire Theater (CFT) began as a nomadic theater company, performing at the Exit Theatre, Traveling Jewish Theatre, and Thick House. Crowded Fire Theater (CFT) now serves as an indispensable home for new play production on the West Coast. A theater-in-residence at the Thick House in Potrero Hill, CFT premieres three plays a year and also presents staged readings of new works in progress.
