Boston Playwrights’ Theatre

Boston Playwrights’ Theatre is a place to see new plays in small black-box theaters on Boston University’s West Campus. Its Walcott and Snodgrass stages put the audience close to the actors, and the program includes new work, visiting productions and play-development events. Choose a performance from the calendar rather than expecting a regular drop-in attraction.

The entrance is at 949 Commonwealth Avenue, across from Agganis Arena and the Green Line’s Babcock Street stop. Look for the ramp and colorful mural beside Raising Cane’s. The older building has some access limitations, including a steep entrance ramp and raised threshold. Contact the box office ahead if you need assistance, wheelchair space or a particular seating position; staff can help plan the visit around your needs.
