Published Plays You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

We work at crafting and publishing quality scripts for theatre and film.

Actors, drama teachers and filmmakers have been using our site for many years.  We have the largest collection of monologues on the internet going into the thousands, and it’s all free to use.

There is no greater joy than seeing an actor use our material online, or hearing about their recent entry into drama school, or a drama teacher letting us know our resource has been beneficial for them and their students, or seeing our scripts play in cinema from filmmakers.

We feel blessed to connect with so many wonderful creators and will continue to do our best to bring original stories to life on our platform, for the creative arts community.

You will find an assortment of stories that have been written and gathered over time in order to help artists find their voice.

Here’s a look at some of our published play scripts for theatre.  You will be able to read monologues and scenes from the material to give you a feel for the characters and story.

Please keep in mind that the list shared here is only a fraction of what we provide.  We recommend our monologues section to access our full roster.  You are welcome to visit our scenes area as well.
