Plays for Schools
We believe in Student Theatre! Read our plays for schools FOR FREE.
And we pride ourselves on finding quality play scripts for student actors. Not every young actor can tackle the same material, but that doesn't mean plays should be condescending or childish. Student actors are capable of understanding and performing complex plays with sophisticated themes, but that doesn't mean plays have to be inappropriate either.
We understand finding play scripts for students is never easy. That's why we've partnered with popular playwrights to create plays specifically written for student actors.
Whether you're a middle school theater, in a high school drama program, or studying in college acting conservatory...from one-act dramas for competition to full-length play adaptations, Stage Partners has just what you need for your school theatre program.
