About YouthPLAYS

YouthPLAYS is an exciting mix of award-winning professional dramatists and talented new discoveries, each with an original theatrical voice, who are dedicated to expanding the vocabulary of theatre for young actors and audiences. Here on our website you'll find one-act plays and full-length plays for teen actors and audiences, as well as plays for younger children, either as performers or audience members.  We also have a selection of monologues and duets for performance and competition.  The work of our member authors has been widely produced at high schools and middle schools, youth theatres and other TYA companies, both amateur and professional, as well as at elementary schools, camps, churches and other institutions serving young audiences and/or actors worldwide.  All of the plays available through YouthPLAYS.com are appropriate for young people.  Most are intended for performance by young people, while some are intended for adult actors performing for young audiences.

What makes YouthPLAYS different from a traditional publisher? One, we're run by experienced playwrights who are experienced teachers as well. And two, we're changing the way business is done to save the environment and benefit customer and playwright alike. You can order any script on our website in its entirety for free as a non-printable PDF file. No trees die, no energy is expended in delivery--all you do is fill out a simple online form and receive the script via email within 24-48 hours (if not within minutes). If you like what you read, you pay the royalty and get a printable PDF file--print just what you need. You save time, avoid shipping costs and, better yet in this time of tightened budgets, you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on scripts. If you are looking for a diverse collection of entertaining and often thought provoking plays, then search no further.
