Baltimore Playwrights Festival to Launch New Workshop Readings Series, Beginning 2/7

The Baltimore Playwrights Festival has scheduled the first Workshop Development Readings for its 34th Season.

Brand new plays that have never been produced anywhere will be read, allowing the playwrights to hear their words come to life, an invaluable experience for the authors. Each reading is followed by a discussion with the playwright(s) and director, and the actors and audience are invited to join the discussion. Some of these plays may be chosen by local theaters for full production this summer.

BPF public readings are open to the public with no admission fee. The readings will be held at Fells Point Corner Theatre, 251 South Ann Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21231.

The mission of the Baltimore Playwrights Festival is to provide an environment that nurtures the talents of Maryland and DC playwrights. The BPF does this through public readings, discussions, critiques and workshopping of new plays. Our summer season is devoted to the presentation of these newly developed works, for the entertainment and cultural edification of our audiences.
