The Northampton Playwrights Lab, founded by Meryl Cohn in 2006, is a biweekly development workshop and creative laboratory for professional playwrights based in Northampton, Massachusetts.

Current members are: Betel Arnold, Leanna James Blackwell, Stephanie Carlson, Meryl Cohn, Harley Erdman, Peter Kennedy, Talya Kingston, and Tanyss Martula.

Every two years (pandemic excepting), we present our most recent plays to local audiences as staged readings featuring local actors and directors in the Play By Play Festival.
