The CRY HAVOC Company - College Play Collections




	CRY HAVOC understands how difficult it can be for college students to find complex, compelling, and challenging plays that feature characters their own age. So we went back through our catalogue of the more than 300 plays that our company has developed over the past fourteen years and identified a selection of one-acts featuring exclusively characters who are in their teens and twenties. Some are funny, some are heart-wrenching, and some are both - but all share the raw, provocative, and humane character that is the hallmark of CRY HAVOC's work. And all are available ROYALTY-FREE for performance by university theater departments and student theater groups. We have divided these nine plays into four themed collections, each of which can be performed as a single evening of theater - or the individual plays in them can be performed separately, mixed-and-matched, or as part of a larger evening of one-acts. Or used in classes for scene study, directors projects, etc. Information about the plays in each collection is below. Click here to request copies of any or all of these collections. For permission to produce any of these plays royalty-free at your college or university, email Literary Manager Will Clark at collegeplays@cryhavoccompany.org.
