“e-Scripts” will soon be easier to come by, thanks to an agreement between leading play publisher and licensor Dramatists Play Service, Inc. and mobile app developer MyTheaterApps.com. The worldwide agreement will make Play Service scripts available to actors and theaters for use in memorizing lines and mounting future theatrical productions.
Dramatists Play Service scripts will be available for purchase through the Scene Partner website in stages during the coming months. The first wave of titles is tentatively scheduled for release in early 2012. According to Stephen Sultan, President of DPS, “Scene Partner’s impressive and innovative features to help actors learn their lines make it a great rehearsal tool. We’re pleased to enter into this agreement with Scene Partner to bring DPS plays to the iPhone, iPad and iPod devices.”
J. Kevin Smith, owner of MyTheaterApps.com and the developer of Scene Partner® stated, “Providing instant access to the outstanding scripts in the Play Service catalog will be a boon for actors and theaters everywhere.” Scene Partner is a powerful iPhone®, iPad® and iPod Touch® app that helps actors with the age-old problem of how to memorize lines.
