Most have a compelling present-tense action for actors to perform.

A few are story monologues ä and they're great stories.

Actors will find pieces by star playwrights such as Don Nigro Itamar Moses Adam Bock and Jane Martin; by exciting up-and-comers such as Nicole Pandolfo Peter Sinn Nachtrieb Crystal Skillman Greg Kalleres and Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig; and information on getting the complete text of each play.
