Plays, The Drama Magazine for Young People offers a wide-range of scripts for children. Now starting our 72nd year, Plays has published exciting, compelling, and fun scripts for kids since 1941. Each year we publish seven issues of Plays, with each issue containing 8-10 children’s plays; all are intelligent and wholesome, respect the individual, and carry good messages and high morals, appropriate for use as school plays: elementary school plays, middle school plays, and high school plays. Subscribers may use our kids’ plays royalty-free. The one-act play scripts we offer are for large-cast plays and small theater productions and include comedies, mysteries, dramas, folk tales, skits, spoofs, fairy tales, histories, biographies, and melodramas. Our theater scripts cover adaptations of the classics, environment, diversity, health, friendships, relationships, history, and the holidays, including Thanksgiving plays, Christmas plays, Kwanza plays, and Hanukkah plays. Our school plays do not cover politics or religion. Portions of many of our plays for children can be used as monologues.
In addition to seven issues of the magazine each school year, subscribers
receive password-protected access to our archives of 250+ downloadable plays for
kids. These plays are organized for lower, middle, and upper grade students.
