For five generations, the company has been committed to developing and serving the authors, artists and educators who comprise the world of theatre. Our catalog includes musicals, full-length and one-act plays and high-quality theatrical books suitable for high-school, children's, professional and community theatre. We offer a spectrum of plays for every cast size, skill level and audience representing classic and contemporary works.
