  • 1.  DPS Issue

    Posted 08-19-2025 11:43

    Hello, I'm facing some challenges with DPS. I'm trying to get a "perusal" script for a play by Kate Hamill. I first ordered the ePlay, but it was difficult to access and unreadable. Now, I'm attempting to order a hard copy of the script, but there's a $2 handling fee, and the cheapest shipping option is over $20! Is anyone else experiencing this? Do you have any suggestions for where I could purchase a copy of this play without the shipping costs exceeding the price of the publication itself?

    I'm sure that this doesn't apply to every title in the DPS catalogue, but I have found single copies of many of their acting editions on Amazon - and with Prime, there's no shipping charge.  Good luck!

    Thanks. I tried Amazon. It's Little Women.

    There are a couple of copies on Amazon.  AbeBooks and ThriftBooks are also great sources for scripts

    I often find plays on Amazon. Try there. Which play are you trying to find? I have a couple.
