After ten years, the Boston Theater Marathon will expand to a two-day, weekend-long event. The expansion is part of a multi-year plan to develop the Boston Theater Marathon to include multiple venues, hundreds of performers and thousands of cultural tourists and Boston theatre patrons – not unlike Edinburgh’s famed festival.
The Warm Up Laps – May 16, 2009
The expansion of the Boston Theater Marathon will include three staged readings of new plays, including Pulitzer Award nominee Theresa Rebeck’s The Novelist, directed by the Huntington Theatre Company’s Artistic Director Peter DuBois. The readings will be at 12pm, 4pm and 8pm at the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts.
Boston Theater Marathon XI – May 17, 2009
Now in its eleventh year, the Boston Theater Marathon will feature fifty ten-minute plays by fifty New England playwrights performed by fifty New England theatres from 12 noon to 10pm at the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts on Sunday, May 17.
“The Boston Theater Marathon brings together the entire theatre community of Boston,” explains Marathon co-founder Kate Snodgrass. “With our friends at the Boston Center for the Arts, we hope in the coming years to bring the entire city of Boston together in the similar spirit of Edinburgh’s festival.”
