That's right, it's marathon time again! This year's Boston Theater Marathon
will take place on Sunday, May 12, from noon until 10pm, at the Boston
Center for the Arts/Calderwood Pavilion Theatre.. It'll feature 50
(yep, 50!) ten-minute plays by 50 New England playwrights, produced by
50 different theatre companies. It's my very favorite theatrical event
of the year.
I'm fortunate to be included
yet again--this will mark the 10th time I've had a play in the
Marathon. New Rep will produce my short, goofy play, Curse the Darkness.
Bridget O'Leary will direct Robert P. Murphy, Lisa Tucker, Erica
Spyres, and one other actor (TBA). My play will appear in the 3-4pm
slot, but take the challenge and come for the entire day. (I will be on
hand to watch all 50 plays. You can do it, too. Pack a snack. Dark
chocolate is my secret.)
Not only is this
an amazing way to see a huge cross-section of amazing Boston theatre,
it's also a fundraiser for a good cause--the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund,
which provided grants to members of the theatre community facing
unexpected crises and dire needs (floods, fires, medical emergencies,
theft, etc.). So come have a blast and do some good at the same time.
