In its eleventh year, the BTM is an annual tradition in Boston, utilizing hundreds of actors and dozens of directors. Fifty ten-minute plays are performed in ten hours (that¿s five plays per hour), each one supported by a different New England theater company. And to top it off, all net proceeds from the Marathon go to the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund, a charitable organization that helps New England theater artists, technicians, and companies in times of need (providing funds for medical emergencies, fires, vandalism, loss of property, and the like).¿What is always exciting about the Boston Theater Marathon¿s festival of 10-minute plays is seeing new playwrights emerge, watching familiar ones spread their wings in new directions, and sitting in a theater with dyed-in-the-wool stage enthusiasts.¿ THEATER MANIA
