We are on Zoom – and in person! Go to CALENDAR for more schedule information. For Zoom meetings, we meet the second Wednesday of the month at 7PM EST: 

Oct 11, Nov 8, Dec 13, Jan 10, Feb 7 (to avoid Valentine’s Day) , Mar 13, Apr 10, May 8, June 12.

Zoom meetings are for shorter works or excerpts of 15 minutes or less. We can generally fit 3 or 4 writers in a two-hour evening. First come, first served. Casting is to be done by the writer. In-person meetings are for longer works. We can fit a couple of one-acts or one full-length in these meetings. Preference will be given to new works that have not been read before.

Playwrights’ Platform is a non-profit, Boston-area cooperative of playwrights, directors, and resident
actors. Since 1972, Playwrights’ Platform has helped develop new theater by providing a forum to
explore the process of creating dramatic work.

You must be a member to schedule a play reading and to take advantage of other benefits, including the FESTIVAL and the ACTORS IN RESIDENCE program. For information, go to MEMBERSHIP.

Playwrights’ Platform supports justice for all. We hope that this support, combined with a
continuation of the arts, will not only help our nation heal, but will lead us to a better place,
where everyone is treated equally and where democracy is truly realized.

To learn more about plays written by Playwrights’ Platform members, books of plays featured in past
festivals are available on Amazon.com.
