Boston Theatre Marathon

I was just reading an article about Boston fringe theatre and saw something about the Boston Theatre Marathon which I had never heard of before. I don't know if this event is something any of you have heard about and maybe I've just been missing out on it because I've never lived in Boston in the summer. Its a full day of 10 minute plays from New England playwrights performed by various companies from the region which takes place every May produced by the Boston Playwrights' Theatre. Only 50 plays are chosen out of over 400 entries so the audience really gets to see the best that these playwrights collectively have to offer. There has also been a weekend of full length play readings added to the event. I think its really awesome that there is this opportunity for great playwrights to get their work out to the Boston audience and I'm hoping that I'll be around in Boston this year to check it out. The website is below if you want to read more about it or see which plays specifically have been performed at the event.
