It's FREE READ FRIDAY and today, we're proud to feature one of our winners of the annual A+ Playwriting Contest for Teachers, Myth-Understood, by Jackie Martin!

In this entertaining yet educational vignette-style play, two teens writing a report on Greek mythology are startled when they get a visit from Hermes, winged helmet and all! The messenger whisks them away to Mount Olympus, where various gods and goddesses retell their myths to the students with a more positive (and hilarious!) spin on their version of events.

Can I do that?

We want to help you stay on the right side of copyright law!

Many of you know that Pioneer Drama is more flexible than most other publishers when it comes to altering a few words of dialogue, changing the gender of a character, or shortening the length of a play. But you still need to get permission! Like all publishers, we require that you contact us with details about any changes you wish to make to any of our copyrighted plays.

The Pioneer difference is that we’ll get you an answer FAST, often the same day, and ALWAYS within one business day.

The Education Committee of The Dramatists Guild of America has put together an incredibly helpful guide, Can I Do That? This booklet will answer all your questions about how copyright law applies in your theatre program and your classroom.
