Welcome to Encore Performance Publishing!
We are proud to offer family-pleasing plays and musicals for middle schools, high schools, colleges, community theatres, and religious institutions. Now in our third decade and under new ownership, Encore Performance Publishing will soon offer a unique option to download many of our 300+ scripts from this website. It is the ultimate in convenience and speed. We look forward to the opportunity of providing for all your dramatic needs. Managing Director In The Spotlight: THE COMMEDIA ALADDIN The zany antics of the commedia style, with lots of bumbling, scheming, incorrigible improvisations and very physical comedy, allows just four traveling actors to create this fast-paced story of Aladdin. Arelquin, Punchin, Columbine and Rosetta portray all the many roles in the story of a lazy young boy who needs to work to help support his mother, especially since his father froze up and is standing in a forest where birds nest in his hair! Aladdin almost falls for the machinations of an evil magician, but instead he saves himself and gains access to the Genie of the Ring and the even more powerful Genie of the Lamp. Aladdin is soon able to marry a beautiful princess and provide a grand castle in which to live, but he discovers his problems are not over! A magic carpet ride helps him find a happy ending. The show's scenery, atmosphere, special effects and stage magic are all created by the actors. Performance time is about an hour, and audiences will find the time flies by!

Encore E-notes Encore
Performance Publishing has nearly 300 plays, so how do you choose one? Our editors can help! When looking for school plays this fall, dramas
based on classic literature are always popular. We recommend “The Gruesome, Gory,
Grotesque Stories of Edgar Allan Poe” by Sam Kuglen in our “over an hour”
section and “A
Trio of Poe” by Paul Caywood, (which can even be performed as Reader’s
Theatre) in our “under
an hour section.” Shakespeare
plays, such as “Romeo and Juliet”
adapted by Tim Wright, are easily manageable by students. For more
lighthearted fare try two comedies
by Lane
Riosley: “Commedia
Aladdin,” If you are
searching of youth
theatre plays we suggest “Alexander and
the United Snakes of America,” For plays to involve your whole class, our
special section, theatre
for young audiences, is ideal. We invite
you to also visit our sister company, Eldridge
Publishing , which offers more high school
plays and community
theatre plays. Also, Eldridge Christian Plays and
Musicals publishes a huge selection of non-denominational religious plays
specializing in Christmas
plays. |
