Plays for Adults – Full-Length Plays

If you’re looking to produce a play at your school, youth theatre, college, community theatre, camp, church or professional theatre, you’ve come to the right place.

Below, you’ll find my plays broken down roughly by length, with bulleted cast, run time and age-appropriateness information, along with a one-liner about the story. Click on the title of any play below to go to its own page, where you’ll find production information, a synopsis, a short excerpt and order information or, in the case of my published plays, a direct link to its publisher’s order page.
