Boston Theatre Scene

When Playwrights Kill

The Huntington Theatre, 264 Huntington Avenue

April 3 - April 18, 2026

A BROADWAY CAST.   A BOSTON SCANDAL.   

A WORLD PREMIERE EVENT.

Be among the first audiences to experience Broadway’s best when Tony Award winners Beth Leavel (The Drowsy Chaperone) and Matt Doyle (Company) star alongside Tony Award nominee Kevin Chamberlin (The Addams Family) in WHEN PLAYWRIGHTS KILL, a new backstage comedy by Matthew Lombardo (Tea at Five), directed by Noah Himmelstein.
This hysterical behind-the-scenes farce follows Jack Hawkins (Doyle), an aspiring playwright on the verge of Broadway glory—until his dreams are derailed when he’s forced to cast Brooke Remington (Leavel), a notoriously difficult diva who turns his Boston tryout into theatrical chaos.

 

STRICTLY LIMITED ENGAGEMENT!
