Skits, Plays, and Scripts
http://www.42explore.com/skits&plays.htm
Skits, Plays, and Scripts
Theater happens when an actor or actors perform on a stage while an audience is watching. These four essentials - - actors, audience, space (stage), and performance - - are theater. It is a live performance before an audience. The actors present a story about some aspect of human experience. The performance is usually a type of play - - a tragedy, comedy, or musical, where the actors follow or interpret a script. But theater performances can also be a circus, vaudeville, puppetry, pantomime, or other forms of entertainment.

Play database
http://www.playdatabase.com/
We felt that the world needed a free service to help theatre lovers find plays to produce and monologues to memorize without any favoritism to a specific publisher, popular opinion, or price. And thus playdatabase.com was born.
playdatabase.com is the largest database of plays and monologues on the internet that can be searched realistically -- not just by title or author, but by the parameters that count -- cast size, length, synopsis, and more. We are also the only site that goes beyond the basics, providing guidelines to potential directors, trivia for the curious theatergoer, and biographical information about the various playwrights.
This database includes over 12471 plays, 5618 writers, and 326 monologues, searchable by title, author, genre, cast size and gender, length, set complexity, keyword in plot description, and other factors, enabling you to match possible plays to your available budget, cast, and skills.

Creative Drama : Plays for Performance
http://www.creativedrama.com/plays.htm
Creative Drama : Plays for Performance
The list of plays on this spreadsheet has been compiled to assist potential directors in the selection of plays for young people to perform.
These plays have young people, children, and teenagers as characters, or are suitable for young actors to perform. Some of the plays are often- performed classics, while others are little known works. I hope that this list will help teachers enlisted with "the school/class play" to find material suitable for their students to perform.
I am writing reviews of some of these plays, which will contain longer descriptions of the plot, technical requirements, and performance challenges.
