As one of the largest full-service play publishing and licensing companies operating in the United States, we carry the exclusive rights to over 850 plays and musicals! All of our scripts — extensively produced by schools, colleges, churches, children’s theatres and community theater groups — are carefully selected to meet the specific needs of the educational and amateur market.
In addition to our high quality scripts for productions of every size, Pioneer Drama Service offers one of the finest collections of theatre textbooks available anywhere. Very reasonably priced, you’ll find these books ideal for classroom use or for your professional library.
About Our Company
Our mission is to offer all drama groups a wide variety of affordable, high quality theatrical material in a professional and friendly manner. To achieve this goal, we continuously seek new manuscripts worthy of publication for our market from both novice and experienced playwrights and authors.
For over 40 years, Pioneer Drama Service has published plays and musicals with the unique needs of educational and amateur groups in mind. We believe involvement in the arts benefits people of all ages — whether in the audience, on stage or behind the scenes — so we strive to create and offer material that is accessible and appealing to all.
You'll love that many of our shows have Pioneer Drama's trademark attributes: flexible casts, simple sets, straightforward costuming and trouble-free props and stage effects. These elements combine to create plays and musicals that offer you the flexibility to adapt a show to best fit both your resources and your talent. Whether you're looking for a show that's rich and elaborate to challenge your actors and thrill your audiences or quick and easy to fit your shoestring budget while still being highly entertaining, you'll find exactly what you want here.
Besides the pride we take in offering you high quality scripts as well as a large selection of theatrical textbooks, we are also pleased to provide our customers with the highest level of customer service. Whenever you call us during regular business hours, you'll always have the phone answered by a friendly, helpful customer service representative. We love talking with our customers and encourage you to use our knowledgeable staff as a valuable resource to help you select a play. As a family owned business that truly cares about the success of your theatre season, we are gratified to see our ever-growing number of loyal, repeat customers who use Pioneer Drama Service as the source for all their plays, musicals and theatrical textbooks.
