Take A Look At Our Awards!!

The majority of the plays represented and published by Popular Play Service are winners or finalists in national and/or regional playwriting competitions.   This means that all of our plays were deemed  in the top 1% of entries by  judges with strong theatrical credentials.  Not until then did our editors consider these plays and acquire the ones we felt would have the broadest appeal to patrons of community and professional theatre.    Our plays have proven track records.  Each has  been produced very successfully in theatres around the country.
