Boston Theater Marathon XXIII: Special Zoom Edition features readings of ten-minute plays by New England playwrights in collaboration with New England theatres, via the video conferencing tool Zoom. BTM XXIII is a free event; audiences are encouraged to lend their support to area theatre companies and to the Theatre Community Benevolent Fund, which provides financial support to theatres and theatre artists in times of need.

Readings begin at 12 noon ET, Monday-Saturday, through May 28. To join the Zoom, click on the "Purchase Tickets" button on the right from your computer, phone, or other device. You’ll need the Zoom app (it's free!) to participate, and it is recommended you call in a few minutes before “curtain” time.

Out Damn Spot by Nina Mansfield
Sponsored by Hub Theatre Company of Boston
Directed by Cassie Chapados

Featuring Lauren Elias and Jamie Hernandez

Mac has inexplicably only brought one good shirt to a business conference, and of course it got stained. Emma, his wife, wishes he just used the stain stick she packed for him. How else is he going to cozy up with Mr. Duncan to make sure the merger doesn’t go through? Not by spilling wine all over his shirt. Or maybe it isn’t wine. Out Damn Spot is a short play inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
