Funded in part by the Humanities Foundation of Boston University, founded and produced by the Boston Playwrights' Theatre, the Boston Theater Marathon, now in its tenth year, is a one-day ten-hour event each Spring. Fifty 10-minute plays are selected from a pool of 300 greater Boston playwrights and are produced by a different New England theatre company. All net profits from the tickets, merchandise and door prizes are given to the Theater Community Benevolent Fund. Come for any show or stay all day with your all-day pass.
