The Truro Playwright Collective brings the magic of original theater to Cape Cod through free monthly staged readings at the historic Truro Public Library from October through April, we invite you to experience compelling new works from seven established Outer Cape playwrights who call this extraordinary corner of Massachusetts home.

Each reading offers an intimate glimpse into the creative process, where powerful storytelling meets the raw energy of live performance. Whether you're a theater enthusiast, a lover of the arts, or simply curious about the vibrant creative community on Cape Cod, our readings provide an unforgettable evening of entertainment and inspiration.

No tickets. No barriers. Just extraordinary theater!

The Truro Playwright Collective is a curated ensemble of seven accomplished playwrights whose work has been performed across the United States and beyond. Founded and curated by award-winning playwright and North Truro resident Joseph M. Paprzycki, the Collective represents the finest in contemporary American playwriting with a distinctly Cape Cod sensibility.

Our playwrights draw inspiration from the unique landscape, history, and character of the Outer Cape—and beyond. Their plays span genres and styles, from intimate character studies to sweeping historical dramas, from sharp comedies to profound explorations of the human condition.
