What is Rhombus?
Six Boston playwrights came together in 2003 to start Rhombus. Meeting twice a month in two four-month semesters a year, each of the six writers brings 10 to 15 pages of new material to each session where it is read by four professional actors and discussed by the group. In discussion, we try hard not to rewrite each other's work--our motto is "impressions not suggestions."
Rhombus members have written over 100 plays, including more than 20 full-length comedies and dramas. Plays by Rhombus playwrights have received hundreds of productions, workshops, and staged readings in theaters across the United States, as well as abroad.
