Cynthia Arsenault, psychologist by day, writer by night, is a former director, whose playwriting group, co-founded in ’08 and aptly named Group, encouraged her to take up the pen. Four years later, she is published this year in “Best of 5 Minute Plays for Teens,” “Best 10 Minute Plays of 2017,” and at Monologuebank.com. There have been over 70 productions of her short plays at such Boston area venues as the Firehouse Center for the Arts; Boston Playwrights Theatre; Cohasset Drama; Hovey; Our Voices; Acme; Image; Company Theatre; Acton 3 and Actors Studio of Newburyport, as well as many other states, London and Australia. In the works, her full-length play “Common Ground” will have readings at The North Shore Readers Theatre in Newburyport in May and the Depot for New Play Readings, CT, in August.
