Plays

This is an archive of stage plays by contemporary American playwright Emily Cicchini. Unless otherwise noted, all plays are being released royalty free under a Creative Commons license: you can read, download, copy, distribute, and perform these plays in educational or non-profit settings for FREE, but you must credit the author by name in all program and publicity materials.

Additionally, if you use this material, please post information promptly in the comments for each title about your experiences (photos, videos, reviews, questions, suggestions, recommendations). This includes responses to simply reading the text itself, as well as readings, workshops, and/or productions.

In production, you may use fragments, selected scenes, and/or excerpts, and may cut or re-arrange material from any of the plays to suit your particular performance needs. You may record, film, or videotape this material, as long as the distribution of these recordings is only for non-commercial and/or non-profit theatrical publicity purposes. You may double and/or non-traditionally cast any of the works. However, you may not add any material to the plays, at least, not without clearing this material with the author first.

These plays are mostly in progress, and the author will continue to develop existing and new material on an ongoing basis. New and revised material may be posted at any time. You are not required to use the most current version, and may mix material from any current or past version as you see fit.

Please note, the author reserves the right to revoke this license on particular or multiple titles with 120 days notice at any time. As such, if you are planning a major production in the near future, it would be wise to notify the author as soon as possible, and check the site frequently for updates. If you are in the process of production and material which you are using is removed, every effort will be made to allow your performance to continue as planned. If you are interested in exclusive and/or commercial licenses for any of this material, you must negotiate a separate agreement.

Any use of material on this site indicates that you understand and accept these terms.

Please register so that you may be contacted with important updates. Your information will not be shared or sold.

If you like what you see in general, but don’t find the exact material you are looking for, you are encouraged to contact the author directly. Themes of interest include but are not limited to strong women characters, poetry, history, science, politics, mythology, religion, and theatre for young audiences. Commissions for new work on specific topics or for specific audiences are accepted on a limited basis, subject to additional negotiated fees.
