Topic: PLEASE help us with our Library!!!
Posted: 4/15/10 at 4:54pm

Hey everyone, I am new to this forum. I am in the process of starting a new Community Theatre in my town. I am looking for help building a nice script library for our group. We have our very first show on May 21 and 22 which will be a night of one acts, but I am struggling with our Libraries and Schools in our area because they have very few scripts so it is hard to get some good ideas. We are going to use some of our profits from this first show to buy some new scripts, but I was hoping that some of you out there might have some extras laying around that you would be willing to donate to us. If so you can send them to

213 N Reinberg Ave
Scottville, MI 49454

You can address them to Josh Thomas. Thanks for all your help.

Careful, having scripts is one thing, purchasing royalties to perform the scripts is another. Best of luck with your venture.

Thanks for the word of caution. I understand how it works. I have my BFA in Theatre. I live in a small town though, so finding people who can help with ideas is very difficult due to the major lack of resource. Even being able to help some of the schools students with forensics or monologues for College Auditions is a major challange. That is the reason we are starting this Community Theatre. We have had several kids in the last couple years audition for some Colleges with excellent Theatre programs, but they just have not had enough exposure or resources to be fully prepared and thus they have not been accepted. I am hoping to develop a nice library and eventually start giving acting lessons to the children in the area. I would also like to start a summer theatre day camp in the next couple years. My goal is to eventually see some of these kids start to get accepted to these College Theatre programs in the coming years.I hope this gives you a pretty good idea of what I am trying to do with the scripts. Thanks again.

I'm in the process of thinning out our library. I'll be happy to send you what we don't want any more. Look for something in a week or two. (I'm in rehearsals for a play at the moment, and my lines come first.)

Finally finished going through our library. I'll be mailing you two or three dozen scripts - some old, some new, all pretty interesting. Hope they'll do you some good.

Josh - The scripts were sent to the address you posted, and I requested delivery confirmation. I checked on line this morning (I was told they should arrive yesterday) and they say the package is "undeliverable as addressed." It's apparently being returned to me. Have you got another address I can send them to?

Yes!!! I am so sorry, we just moved and I had someone getting our mail for us so I let them know that the scripts were coming but I guess they were not able to get them. My new address is
704 Munson Ave
Traverse City MI 49686
If you wouldn't mind resending them here that would be awesome. I am so sorry I thought that I had everything covered but it looks like I screwed this up.

As soon as they hit my doorstep, I'll re-post them to Traverse City.
BTW - how did your first show do?
