What are Touring Plays?
The touring plays were originally developed and toured by the professional ArtReach Touring Theatre. They have been performed literally hundreds of times by ArtReach and many other professional groups. All are written for a small cast of adults (2, 3 or 4 actors) with most actors playing several parts. They last about 45 to 50 minutes – the ideal length for school assembly programs, allowing the actors to set up and perform in less than an hour or classroom period. All can be performed with limited set, props and costumes with everything fitting into one van or truck. Most of the touring plays have a soundtrack CD with music and sound effects that can be run by the actors during the performance. Most also have audience participation and are well selected for curriculum tie-ins to history and literature themes. NOTE: If you are planning a TOUR (or MORE THAN 10 PERFORMANCES), please contact us for a special Royalty Quote and Performance License Agreement.
