Call for submissions: BTM XVII’s One-Minute Sprints
The Dramatists Guild New England and Boston Playwrights’ Theatre are co-hosting the second annual One-Minute Sprints as part of the Boston Theater Marathon (BTM) weekend.
What’s a One-Minute Sprint? It’s a one-minute play on the theme of TO BE FILLED IN. The one-minute plays will be read by four very talented Bostonian actors (two men, two women). It’s great fun and a chance to hear many different voices.
