Playscripts, Inc.

If you are involved in high school theater and haven't heard of Playscripts, Inc by now, you are probably living in a cave. They carry the hilarious one-acts Check Please and Hard Candy by Jonathan Rand. Heard of them? If you are alive and been to a high school play festival in the last few years, you surely know of these plays. But they are well known for a reason; they are hysterical! I have seen both more times than I can count and they never get old. Same goes for practically everything else in their vast catalog.

Playscripts is a phenomenal publisher of plays and has been, and continues to be, on the cutting edge of the industry. They were one of the first, if not the first, publisher to offer online previews of all their plays. This has since become the standard for play publishing. This has saved high school teachers thousands upon thousands of dollars on ordering plays, only to find out that they are not going to work for them. At first, I thought this would impede on playwrights' royalties, but the exact opposite has proven to be true. With the ability to read hundreds of plays (almost in their entirety) for free, it has opened up every play in their catalog for perusal. This only leads to more productions!

They carry two of my plays, The Day Grandma Got Mad and Squashed the Tomatoes and Imaginary Harry. Both have achieved great success and I beg you to check out their immense wealth of truly terrific material.
