ABOUT OUR SCRIPTS

The Porch Room's collection of award-winning scripts and screenplays are now available online. Theater groups, film production companies, students and educational programs are welcome to peruse scripts online, print them, and perform them or contact the Porch Room for rights and availability.

STAGEPLAYS

You can read any of our nonpublished stageplays for free. Look through our list of titles to find a play of the right length, cast, and genre. If after reading a script, you are interested in performing it, you can print out as many copies of the script as you want. In order to print copies, you must agree to only three conditions:

1. You fill out a short online form with information about the performance.
2. You agree to credit the Porch Room and the play's authors in your program.
3. You consider a suggested donation to support our efforts. (See below)

So why not? Perusing the scripts is free and easy, so sign up today and start now.

Stage Donations: Consider the talented writers and artists of the Porch Room like coffee-shop musicians: you can enjoy us for free, but we apprieciate any donation you wish to make. If you are a student using our works in a class or otherwise make no money from the performance, take our scripts for free. If you make some money at the box office using one of our pieces, consider a 10-20% donation of the proceeds from the piece. For example: you perform Tricks of the Trade, a Porch Room short play, as 1 of 6 pieces in a series of short plays. You make $300 at the box office. One sixth of your box office is $50, so your suggested donation would be $5-$10. Not a bad price for cutting-edge theater!

SCREENPLAYS

If you are a film or video production company, the Porch Room writers have a large collection of short and full-length screenplays you are free to read.
