Group 1 Plays
Shorter Scripts for Younger or Newer Performers
Group 1 plays are ideal for elementary, middle school, and newer theatre groups. These scripts typically have fewer roles, shorter dialogue, and running times of about 20 to 30 minutes. They are a strong fit for classrooms, first productions, reader’s theater, and groups that want a manageable rehearsal process.
Group 2 Plays
Longer, Advanced Scripts for Larger or Experienced Casts
Group 2 plays are designed for groups ready for more complex dialogue, longer run-times, and broader ensemble work. These scripts typically run about 45 to 60 minutes and work well for middle school, high school, and youth theatre productions that want a fuller performance experience.
