Director's Scripts
"I am so impressed with your production script that I do not like
to buy from any other publisher."-Betty L. Meiron, Cross
Plains, Texas.
If someone gave you an extra hour every day, could you use it?
Our Director’s Scripts do just that for many directors. We
provide a Director’s Script (prompt book) for some of our plays
(if “Director’s Script” is not listed with its price in the
description of a play, none is available for that play). The
Director’s Script includes costume sketches, floor plans,
suggestions for building or securing hard-to-find props and set
pieces, and aid with technical problems. It also includes the
full text of the play with detailed stage directions, showing
every actor where to be and what to do every moment s/he is on
stage. Experienced directors have found our Director’s Scripts to
be great time savers. Inexperienced directors have found them to
be almost like having an experienced director at their side
during rehearsals.

even deaths, in the theatre because no one bothered to teach the

by a former actor and professor of stage combat. A must for the
director who wants to protect his/her actors from injury and the
theatre from lawsuits.The book contains chapters on Falls;
