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 and to present this work in public. Membership provides these benefits:

• Regularly-scheduled meetings, where you can hear your work – short and full-length – performed by actors and receive thoughtful critiques.
• Support for public-facing play reading events in Boston and surrounding areas.
• Access to the Actors in Residence program.
• Ability to submit to a Playwrights’ Platform new works Festival.

PLEASE NOTE:  TO BECOME A MEMBER, YOU MUST RESIDE IN NEW ENGLAND OR HAVE SPECIAL PERMISSION TO JOIN PLAYWRIGHTS’ PLATFORM. For information, go to MEMBERSHIP.

Playwrights’ Platform is a member-focused and member-driven cooperative.
It is NOT a production company.

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.
