Synopsis

The Boston Theater Marathon is the winner of a 2000 Elliot Norton Award and a Dramatists' Guild Citation for its work in forging relationships between playwrights and theater companies all over New England. Now an annual tradition in Boston, the BTM utilizes hundreds of actors and dozens of directors to sponsor 50 ten-minute plays in 10 hours (that's five plays an hour), each one supported by a different New England theater company.

About this title

Review:

The greatest campground for New England theater artists avaie and the beat, havens for mavens, and a center where one can mingle freely with the entire theatre community, audience members included. Long may this Marathon fun - and run - and run. --Robert Brustein

If anyone thinks Boston isn't a real theater town. I present for your consideration the Boston Theater Marathon. Beantown and its environs are positively teeming with troupes, playwrights, actors and directors who crawl out of the woodwork for the annual daylong festival. --Boston Herald

What is always exciting about the Boston Theater Marathon's festival of 10-minute plays is seeing new playwrights emerge, watching familiar ones spead their wings in new directions, and sitting in a theater with dyed-in-the-wool stage enthusiasts. --Theater Mania
