Every year, the BPF receives a number of original, never-produced plays by people who live in Maryland or Washington, DC. Those plays are reviewed by our members and some are selected to eventual be put into production by BPF and member theaters.
Your gift to the Baltimore Playwrights Festival will nurture the talent of gifted local writers and will bring new exciting works to the stage.
For almost 40 years, the BPF has brought theatrical dreams to life and we can’t do this energizing work without your support. Become a member of the BPF today!
