Boston Playwrights’ Theatre Presents Boston Theater Marathon XIV and the Warm-Up Laps, 5/19-20
By: Kelsey Denette Apr. 20, 2012
Boston Playwrights' Theatre presents the 14th annual Boston Theater Marathon and the fourth year of The Warm-Up Laps. The Boston Theater Marathon features 53 ten-minute plays, by 53 New England playwrights, produced by 54 New England theatres in 10 hours.
The Boston Theater Marathon has brought playwrights, directors and theatres together over the past 14 years in an effort to foster collaboration between artists and producers. Many playwrights have enjoyed full-length productions with collaborating theatres because of the relationship forged during the Boston Theater Marathon.
The Warm-Up Laps will feature A Book of Snow by Joshua Faigen at 12pm, The Last Skywriter in the Universe by Steven Bogart at 2pm, and Comes a Faery by James McLindon at 4pm. The Warm-Up Laps are presented in collaboration with The Boston Center for the Arts and their resident theatres and are free and open to the public.
All net proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund which provides financial support to theatres and theatre artists in times of need.
Supported by the Boston University Center for the Humanities.
