Founded for the mutual benefit of theaters and playwrights worldwide, PlayScripts, Inc. officially launched its exclusive collection of new plays in March 2000, and has grown to feature nearly 2,000 plays written by almost 900 authors. These plays epitomize a magnificent diversity of voices, characters, stories and styles, and have been relished in 105 countries.
Playscripts, Inc. provides professional and amateur productions licenses, publishes paperback volumes, binder books and acting editions, and reaches clients through its print catalog, online promotions, print advertising and theater conferences. The company’s catalog is shipped to more than 40, 000 recipients all over the world every single year.
In addition to that, the Playscripts, Inc.’s website provides an all-encompassing, one-of-a-kind selection of services for playwrights and customers such as its Search feature, wherein visitors can type in a specific category, read extensive script samples, and purchase performance rights and books – all with ease and convenience online.
However, the company is not an official online publisher. Similar to traditional play publishers, Playscripts, Inc. publishes license performance rights and books only. It sells and distributes authentic books, and never e-Books or other kinds of electronic texts and documents. Its online samples of scripts are solely for the purpose of promotions and advertising, and are encrypted against copying and printing.
Headquartered in New York, Playscripts, Inc. has been the leading source for all kinds of plays for almost 15 years. It has become an online destination where playwrights, directors and performers converge in the search for the world’s greatest and most diverse collection of plays.
