Playwrights in Boston

Boston has a pretty remarkable reputation for all of the arts. It’s the home to some of the country’s most prestigious universities, and that attracts some of the best artistic minds in the world. Professional and student artists have the opportunity to work together and learn from each other. Outside of the university, there are plenty of arts organizations that do regular performances of theatre, dance, music, and multiple combinations of any of these. That’s one of the reasons why people like to check the hotel rates Boston is offering at the moment, because it’s so exciting to visit here.

However, outside of the university, there are few forums where artists can continue to learn. Visual artists need viewers, and playwrights need audiences. Even for brand new work that’s not ready for a stage yet, the writer needs to hear their words read out loud so they can see where they are going. That’s part of the idea for the Playwrights Platform , an organization that’s entirely devoted to development for the writers.

They have an annual festival , and are active throughout the year in championing writers and their plays. This is a very necessary stage of a play’s birth and growth, and the organization is doing a favor for the writers, but also for the entire theatre-going community at large, by giving the works a breath of life.
