About Boston Playwrights Theatre
Founded in 1981 by Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott, Boston Playwrights’ Theatre is an award-winning professional theatre dedicated specifically to new works for the stage. At the core of our five programs is our MFA in Playwriting, offered as part of Boston University’s renowned English Department and in collaboration with the School of Theatre.

We believe the successful development, production, and promotion of new plays is key to continuing theatrical achievement in New England and nationwide, and we measure our success first by a generous dedication to our playwrights’ visions.
