Since 2002, Drama Tree Press has published award winning scripts for performers of all ability levels and audiences of all agees. Our collections are filled with stories people can relate to, laugh at, and cry over. They are filled with characters we can cheer for, grow with, and carry within us. Our titles have been performed all over the country in competition and as full length shows, have been at the top of many national and statewide tournaments, and in many cases are much more than 10 minute cuttings. Rather, in our literature, you will see shows that allow for no two cuttings to be the same. One constant with our literature is the use of flashbacks and narration to create complete stories.
Titles in Each Book:
