We work tirelessly to write customized children’s
theater for you. Why? Because we love it.

What we do

At playsforchildren.net, we can customize any of our scripts to suit your needs. For example, if you were interested in using the script for Robin Hood and you wanted fewer Merry Folk or more Town Folk, just tell us how many characters you'd like to have and the script will be re-worked to that cast size. Maybe you want to use the script for Treasure Island but you'd prefer having a musical version with songs. We can create group songs and/or solos to your specifications. You might want to perform Cinderella without any songs. We can re-write the script, removing the songs and providing dialogue that will replace the lyrics so none of the story is lost. Or perhaps you will be having very young actors in your production and you want to minimize the vocabulary or the amount of dialogue to make easier for them to have a successful experience. We can do that, too!

It's our goal to create a script that is just right for your organization.
