Clive Chafer’s San Francisco bay area theatre company (theatrefirst.com). TheatreFIRST was established in 1993 as a nonprofit professional theatre company, dedicated to bringing the finest works of international drama to East Bay audiences. Since our first production in 1994, we have focused our efforts on bringing to our audience drama that throws light on diverse cultures. Our plays have come from places as far apart as Argentina, France and Australia, and have looked at events as diverse as the Israel-Palestine conflict, perestroika in Russia, aid to the developing world, and post-Pinochet political life in Chile.
