Save 50% On a 2 Book Purchase

May 12, 2010

I know that many of you discovered our small press years after we started.  You may not be aware of the great material in Plays and Playwrights 2001 and 2002.  So before these anthologies go out of print, I would like to be sure you can add them to your bookshelves.

Now through June 30, buy both volumes (retail value $30) for just $15.  And, of course, shipping is free.

Here’s a great way to become acquainted with the work of Julia Lee Barclay who has been extremely successful in London with her theoretical, ensemble based pieces based on her early, Word To Your Mama.

And Trav S.D.’s House of Trash is a forerunner of his vaudeville style work that has gained so great a following.  Trav is the author of the well received book on the history of vaudeville “No Applause, Just Throw Money”.

Of course this is also a great chance to read Marc Chun’s Match which has been produced more than 30 times since we published it — probably the most perfect piece for any small company or school production.

Visit our website for more information about Plays and Playwrights 2001 and 2002.  Then take advantage of this great special limited offer pricing.


Plays and Playwrights 2010

March 21, 2010

Plays and Playwrights 2010 is at the printer and we should have copies by the beginning of the month.  And, as usual, we are so excited about this new anthology.

Our books usually come out in February but this year we chose to re-release our very popular first book, Plays and Playwrights for the New Millennium as a Kindle e-book.  Out of print for several years and an excellent selling book when it was available, it is now back with extra bonus material ready for you to download to your computer, Kindle, iPhone, etc.  Check it out on the Kindle store and let me know what you think.

Now that our first foray into e-books is complete, we can concentrate on Plays and Playwrights 2010.  The book will retail for $19 but you can be one of the first to receive it and PAY ONLY $14 by ordering now.

Here’s what you’ll find between the covers of this, our 11th yearly anthology. 

  • The Invitation by Brian Parks - A birthday dinner celebration among a group of highly successful friends takes an abrupt peculiar turn in a play that veers maniacally and sardonically through the worlds of politics, art, and revenge.
  • Flip Side by Ellen Maddow – A comedy of misperceptions and mismatches in which two sets of characters – played by the same six actors – occupy two different worlds.
  • Any Day Now by Nat Cassidy – A three-act drama about a typically dysfunctional American family dealing with a rather atypical problem, the dead are coming back to life.
  • The Spin Cycle by Jerrod Bogard - Five short linked plays create a collage of contemporary America – from Lady Liberty to the Hollywood Hills to an army base in Iraq – as ordinary folks attempt to “spin” troubling aspects of their life.
  • Suspicious Package: Rx by Gyda Arber and Aaron Baker – A Twilight Zone-esque sci-fi thriller that takes the form of an interactive adventure for audience members, who portray all the characters in this innovative play.
  • Our Country by Tony Asaro and Dan Collins – Outed in a public restroom, country music sensation Tommy Dautry has gone from darling to derelict overnight. But now, in this exciting and heartfelt musical, Tommy is back and ready to prove that gay or straight, left or right…it’s Our Country, too.
  • Maddy: A Modern-Day Medea by Will Le Vasseur – An adaptation of the classic Greek tragedy sown in the heartland of America at the Corinthian Trailer Park, with a supernatural element thrown into the mix.
  • Al’s Business Cards by Josh Koenigsberg – When gaffing assistant Al Gurvis’s new business cards are accidently swapped with those of a real estate agent, it sets off a chain of events with hilarious – and profound – consequences.
  • The Songs of Robert by John Crutchfield – A folk musical for one performer with a motley cast of characters that tells the story of a lonely teenager growing up in the mountains of southern Appalachia.
  • MilkMilkLemonade by Joshua Conkel - A satirical play for adults about gay children, a parasitic twin, an antagonistic grandmother, a depressed chicken, and our growing bodies.

Save on Plays and Playwrights 2008

March 3, 2010

Just posted a new special discount price on Plays and Playwrights 2008.  Buy it through our online shop now til March 31 and save 25% (and of course free priority mail shipping).

We’ve got a great reason to make this offer. Very shortly we will be releasing Plays and Playwrights 2010.  The Foreword to this new volume is written by Leslie Bramm.

Now I want you to get to know Leslie for lots of reasons.  First and foremost he is an intelligent, talented playwright.  And we published his play, Marvelous Shrine in Plays and Playwrights 2008.  So, before you get to read his Foreword to our 2010 anthology, read his play. 

Leslie has been a supporter of NYTE’s publishing program since it first started in 2000.  He has attended our launches, told tons of folk about the books and even commented to us about what he liked and what he didn’t. 

Buy Plays and Playwrights 2008 now and pay only $13.50.  It’s well worth the cost — you get 10 really contemporary plays — you get to meet 10 playwrights, all with different ideas and different styles, but all really talented.
