Founded in 2017, Plays in Place is a theatre company that creates new site-specific plays in partnership with museums, historic spaces, and other institutions. They have extensive experience bringing historic stories and sites to life in ways that deeply engage audiences. Past and current partners and projects include Mount Auburn Cemetery (The America Plays, The Nature Plays, Moonlight Abolitionists), Revolutionary Spaces—Boston’s Old State House and Old South Meeting House (Cato and Dolly, I Am This Place, Scipio’s Balcony, Imagining The Age of Phillis), Roosevelt-Campobello International Park (Beloved Island: Windows on Campobello), the National Park Service (Suffrage in Black and White), Old North Illuminated (Revolution's Edge), Historic Beverly, MassBike (The Kittie Knox Plays), and Historic Northampton (Pulling at the Roots), Old New-Gate Prison and Copper Mine.
Plays in Place projects employ dozens of theatrical artists, and in 2023 Plays in Place will work with a diverse group of nine playwrights researching and developing new plays.
