AACT Play Directory *
Our member-only searchable hub connects AACT member-playwrights with member theatres who are ready to program their next show. AACT members can search by genre, cast size, and theme, among other criteria, to find the ideal script. AACT member-playwrights are encouraged to submit their plays to the directory and our vast network of member theatres. [You must be signed in to this website to access these features.]
AACT PlayFinder
Search for a play or musical by title to find where to get scripts and/or licensing.
- Use as few words as possible. For example "Little Mermaid" will show all sources for that title, including Disney and non-Disney
- When results are shown, you may need to scroll down past sponsored links to find a list of all sources.
- To close search box and return to this page, click on the "x" at the top right of the search box.
