It’s May again, and that means flowers, Mother’s Day, and the Boston Theater Marathon, the annual event featuring 50 10-minute plays being performed over the space of ten hours at the Boston Center for the Arts. This year, I’ll be represented with my play “The Door.” This will be my [counts on fingers] seventh appearance in the BTM. Amazing!

As usual, each play in the Marathon is being produced by a different New England theater company. “The Door” is being presented by imaginary beasts, who also did my play “Evolution” when it appeared in the 2016 Marathon; Matthew Woods will again be directing. The company did a superb job with “Evolution,” so I am excited to see what they will do with my newest play.

By all means, do come and see the Marathon! This year’s collection of playwriting talent includes Christopher Lockheardt, Ellen Davis Sullivan, Cynthia Arsenault, K. Alexa Mavromatis, L.H. Finigan, Greg Lam, Walt McGough, John J King, Patrick Gabridge, John Minigan, Ron Radice, Ronan Noone, Steven Bogart, Gary Garrison, and many, many more. It runs from noon to 10:00, with a post-show party afterwards. However, don’t feel that you have to watch all ten hours; once you have your ticket you can come and go as you please.

If you want to see “The Door,” however, you should come early: It’s scheduled to be the very first show (the keynote, as it were), staring the proceedings off right at noon!
