The Playhard Project

The Playhard Project creates books that help people explore, imagine, reflect, and grow.

Home of The Playhard Press, its collection ranges from guided meditations and creative journals to books for actors, educators, families, and anyone interested in living a more thoughtful and imaginative life.

At the heart of every Playhard Project book is a simple belief: the right resource at the right moment can make a difference. Some books invite reflection. Some build confidence or creativity. Some offer practical tools. And some simply make life more interesting and fun.

Founded by author and editor Matthew Barrington, The Playhard Project brings together his backgrounds in mental health, education, theatre, and creative writing with one purpose: helping people heal, learn, grow—and enjoy the journey.
