Bloomington Playwrights Project

The Bloomington Playwrights Project is a Bloomington treasure. So many theaters in Indiana have the same old tired plays from years past or plays of popular books or movies. I love that they take a risk and stage completely new plays. I’ve seen about 4 different productions here, and I thought 3 of the 4 were excellent.
As Adam N, mentioned, it’s not uncommon for shows to be sold out. The theater is pretty small and some of the seats aren’t ideal if you have long legs so grab a seat early. The theater often partners with local businesses to offer free food or drinks in the lobby before the show. Or there may be IU students doing improv in the lobby, depends on the day. The BPP is one of my favorite things about Bloomington.

This place is one of Bloomington’s gems, and the word is getting out. I went to see The Blizzard last night, and we were turned away at the door, because they were sold out. If you want to see a show, I recommend you reserve your tickets! The lobby has been updated, and looks fabulous. The acting is always solid, and the play selection is always good. This is a great destination, and you can follow up with dinner downtown. If you want to see a play, keep an eye out. They’re sure to have something you are interested in.
