THE GRAND SCHEME by Jack Neary, New Century Theatre ----------------------- The Boston Theater Marathon has it all, from ART to Zeitgeist Stage. Under the organization of Boston Playwrights' Theatre, the BTM is a theatrical smorgasbord where fifty New England theatre companies combine forces with fifty-one New England playwrights and over a hundred actors and directors. Fifty ten-minute plays are performed in ten non-stop hours on May 11, 2008, at the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion in Boston's South End. Come see the theatre community come together for this special charity event to raise funds for the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund.
Kate Snodgrass, co-founder and artistic director of the Boston Theater Marathon, says this of the 10th anniversary year: "When we created the Marathon ten short years ago, we wanted to connect playwrights with producers. I had no idea it would become one of the benchmarks of Boston's theatre calendar. This year we're not just celebrating the playwrights -- we're celebrating the little festival that could."
And now, announcing this year's playwrights:
