Baltimore Playwrights Festival

Upcoming Production

ALL FIVE OF US

All Five of Us follows a tight-knit group of five college band members who yield to the temptation to get together in person during the COVID-19 pandemic. Told through a combination of flashbacks and the narration, this structurally unique play explores how the unprecedented events of 2020 turned the human need for connection into a deadly liability—and then shows how that same need can offer us a path towards redemption even after the unthinkable.
All Five of Us by Illana Jael Rothman
Directed by George Andre Tittle

BPF’s mission is to provide an environment that nurtures the talents of Maryland and DC playwrights. BPF does this through readings, discussions, critiques and
workshopping of new plays. Our summer season is devoted to the presentation of these newly-developed works for the entertainment and cultural edification of
our audiences.

How it Works

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.

Outline of the process

  1. Submission
  2. Review
  3. Public Readings
  4. Selection for Production
  5. Production
