Free Short Play Scripts

Short plays (also known as skits) are an excellent way for new actors start out.

• Rather than giving them a full play, give them something short to work with and "play" with theatre before jumping into something big.
• These skits may also be used for Reader's Theatre in the classroom as a quick and easy lesson.
• Use the short play as an introduction to get students interested in a topic or as a fun way to get students up and moving.
• Or you can create an entire evening of entertainment in the style of Saturday Night Live by using several sketches (another way of saying a short play or scene).

Shorts are a wonderful tool for actors, directors, teacher and students.

Check out some of the recommended scripts below.
