Dewey Coleman has a secret. By day, he is a mild-mannered (even boring) high school history teacher; by night, he is Damaged, a psychotic would-be pro wrestler. For a while he's been able to explain away his random head wounds and concussion-induced vomiting, but the metaphorical cat is out of the bag when he is coerced by his overworked principal into directing the fall play, Peter Pan. Worlds collide as his students discover his persona, and Damaged intrudes on the production, reimagining the classic play as an all an-out brawl entitled Pan/Hook: One Night Only.

How We Price

Our pricing is simple and transparent. Each play includes two parts: a one-time script fee of $150, which grants you immediate access to the play and permission to copy and share it within your program; and a performance license of $65 per performance, which covers your live productions for the selected license duration.

How You License

At checkout, select your license duration (for example, the current or next school year) and the number of performances you plan to give. Each license covers live, in-person performances.

What You Get

You’ll receive an instant PDF download of the full script. During your license period, you’re free to copy, print, and share the script within your school or theatre program for rehearsal and performance use—no per-script fees or copy limits.
