We are only weeks away from the launch of a brand new theatre resource in Australia NZ.

If you are tired of paying overseas rights for overdone plays and want to source Australian written and performed plays FREE of rights or at least inexpensive in comparison then this will be for you.

We are currently seeking MORE performed but UNPUBLISHED plays, monologues pantomimes, any theatre art written in Australia or NZ.

So authors please contact us as soon as possible. The main web site will be operating at the beginning of July with the Official launch of Armpit Plays shortly thereafter.

We will be seeking editors and synopsis writers and Theatre consultants in all areas over the coming months. Please wait until we advertise!

You may visit http://www.armpitplays.com or for a more detailed guide to our resource then phone us on 0423 116 114

oh dear, as I said Alex,

You really have no idea of the resource we are putting forward. You are rude, up yourself and a valuable publicist.

The full premise is on the new website which will be launched on or after the 14th July.

Please note Authors:

Performing rights are YOUR business and you set them according to your wishes. If you wish to charge that is great, I do certainly, but not for all my writing and not for community theatre. If you wish to charge according to the calculations from the publishing industry fine.

Armpit plays have no intention of charging commissions, purchasing or setting performing rights fees at all.

Copyright of your work is protected and we have no interest in it. Indeed, should you gain yourself a publisher whilst that work is on our resource we will remove it as we do not wish to be in breach of copyright.

Armpit plays is for unpublished but preferably PERFORMED works.

Armpit plays after consultations with professional and peak bodies and copyright lawyers is in the business of providing a resource for playwrights, Community and (we hope professional) School and student drama which our research shows just doesnt exist up until now.

Those of you who have shown interest in our micro enterprise, you have our thanks, Those too ignorant and arrogant to ask a civil question , at least we have a handle on your standards.
