Great question! You have several options for finding play scripts:

  • Play Index database - allows you to search for plays by title, topic, author, and number of actors needed. Use the Advanced Search to see all options. 
  • In CU Discover, perform a subject search using the following instructions:
    • Select "Advanced Search."
    • Open the "More" menu at the top of the screen and click on the "Search by Field" option.
    • Change the "Browse by" options to "Subject" and run a search using the term, "drama."  There are several related subject terms and subheadings that could be relevant. 

If you would like a children's play, search "children's plays" as a subject using the same process.
