Book Description
For more than two decades, the Boston Theater Marathon has brought together playwrights, directors, and theatre companies in an effort to foster collaboration between artists and producers. Plays are chosen from approximately 400 submissions from New England playwrights and the selected plays are produced in a single 10-hour day by New England theatre companies donating their time to this event. Generously supported by the Boston University Center for the Humanities and by individual donations, the BTM gives net proceeds to the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund which helps area theatre artists and companies in crisis. The traditional version of the BTM was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, and BTM XXII (and XXIII): Special Zoom Editions were born.
