Browse our collection of scripts published since 2010 on the second floor! We also have print scripts in the third-floor stacks. Scripts for plays in English can be found roughly from the call number ranges PR6000 through PS, but be aware that they are intermingled with other kinds of literature in English.

If you find a script from one of these publishers that the library doesn't have, consider making a purchase request (see next section on this page) so we can add it to our collection!
If we don't have access to a title you are looking for, please consider making an interlibrary loan or purchase request. Interlibrary loan means we will look for another library that owns the title that might be willing to loan it out to us for a limited period of time. A purchase request means that the UNCSA library will purchase a copy to add to our collection.
