Pioneer Drama Gives You More

Did you know that Pioneer offers more electronic delivery options for your play materials than any other play publisher?

Hopefully, by now you’re all familiar with our E-Views — that’s our clever name for electronic previews.  Our program is unique in that all your electronic preview scripts are kept permanently in your personal E-View library that you can access from our website at any time.  Imagine...  immediate access to practically any script on our website without ever having to worry about losing an email or having your firewall block an email with an attachment.  E-Views are not printable, but include the entire script that you can read on your computer or tablet to help you decide on your next show.  You can even share the PDF with a co-worker or principal who’s working with you to find the perfect show for your group!

Learn all the ins and outs about our E-View program by reading our FAQs.

“Okay,” you say, “that’s fine for previewing, but I’m in a huge hurry to get my production order, and I don’t have the budget to pay exorbitant rush shipping fees.”  No problem, we’ve got you covered here with not one, not two, but THREE different electronic options for your production order.

Our E-Script delivery option works just like our standard production orders, except that you get your script as a PDF via e-mail within one business day instead of receiving paper scripts.  Of course, you still have to purchase enough scripts for your entire cast, then we provide you with written permission to photocopy or otherwise distribute the number of copies of the script PDF you purchased.

We can also send you your director’s book and music scores electronically with the E-Script delivery option, even though the website doesn’t indicate it.  Luckily, we hand-process all our orders, so when you’re placing your order online, simply leave us a message in the Special Instructions box about which parts you want electronically.  We’ll do our best to accommodate you!  Of course, we’ll take off or reduce your shipping charges based on these changes.  Even if you’ve provided a credit card number, your card is not charged when you first submit your website order.  We only charge your card when we process your order, so we’ll make sure to adjust the total accordingly.

Again, our FAQs can help you understand our E-Script option even better.

“That sounds great, but I can’t wait till tomorrow to get my PDF script.  I need it now so I can make copies and be ready for my class this afternoon!”  If this lament sounds all too familiar, then our Get It Now! delivery option is perfect for you.

Get It Now! allows you to immediately download PDFs of the script, director’s book, and scores for practically any show on our website.  Even production/rehearsal CDs sets are also available for immediate download!  Of course, as with any production order, you must order enough scripts for your entire cast.  In addition, this option requires pre-payment of your entire order, including royalties since delivery is immediate.

Imagine getting all your materials for a production without needing anything shipped to you!  Our international customers love this!  Not only does it save them time, it saves them customs and brokerage fees as well.

Sound good?  It gets better!  The cherry on top is that with our Get It Now! option, you can mix and match what parts you get electronically and what you get in the mail.  When you select this delivery option, you literally check off which parts you want electronically and which you wish to have shipped to you.  Many of our customers use this feature to get their director’s book right away but not have the burden of needing to make scripts for all their actors.  Conversely, other customers have each actor print their own script but love to get our printed director’s book already spiral bound.  There’s any number of options available to you as long as your entire order is prepaid.

Once again, take a look at these FAQs if you have further questions.

“You know, I really like my actors to have actual playbooks from you.  I just need one copy of the script right away that I can print.  That way I can get started while waiting for all the material to arrive by mail.”

You know what?  We hear this all the time, so we even have this option covered!  We call it Jumpstart and charge you just a $6 electronic delivery fee to email you a printable electronic copy of the script in addition to your production order of paper scripts.  Just add the word JUMPSTART to your production order for paper scripts — you can mention it with a phone order, add it as a $6 line item on a purchase order, or type it in the Special Instructions box online and we’ll add the $6 to your total when we process your order.

From traditional paper scripts to electronic preview scripts, from helping you get a jumpstart on your production order to entire orders — including the music — electronically, Pioneer has every option available to you!

And while our fine textbook selection is not available electronically, we have a special collection of Royalty-Free Skits that are!  If you’re looking for material for classroom scene work, these PDFs are perfect!  They are emailed to you within one business day and include unlimited photocopy and performance rights.  We’ve spotlighted some of our top-selling Royalty-Free Skits below.
