The Baltimore Playwrights Festival
Showcasing plays by Maryland & Washington DC playwrights in an annual festival presented by local theatre companies.

OUR MISSION
Is to provide an environment that nurtures the talents of Maryland and DC playwrights.  The BPF does this through public 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.

"IF A NEW-PLAY FESTIVAL CAN IDENTIFY EVEN ONE PROMISING PLAYWRIGHT, IT'S WORTH DOING."

Each year we start the season with a kick-off party for the cast, crew, and production teams of the festival plays.
This year the party will be held at the Chesapeake Arts Center on Sunday, June 1st, at 7:00 pm. We'll let everyone have a little food and drink, then, at 8:00, we'll give a taste of all our plays. Then we'll resume eating, drinking, and expressing our freshly acquired anticipation and excitement.
