These play scripts are free to read, download and perform as you like. All I ask is for the knowledge if a show is being performed, or a quick note that you enjoyed one, or had a criticism. If you didn't enjoy reading any of my scripts, you can keep that to yourself. This isn't Reddit.

That's a good question.  I ask myself that regularly.  It's simple, I like to laugh, I like to share laughter. 

The price of preforming a show with rent, royalties, lighting and crew are enormous. It's no wonder theater tickets are so expensive. I'm writing shows anyway, so if some theatre group can use them to prosper...well, good!

 I'm hoping, through the magic of the internet my scripts will fall into the hands of classrooms and community theatre groups that could use them.    

 A very long time ago, way back in the year 1993, I was a sixteen year old Drama geek at West Potomac High School. During my second production “You Can’t Take it with You” I began writing my first play. I failed my creative writing course because I was far too busy writing a play to do any of the assignments. When I was finished I found a group of friends that wanted to help me produce it. It didn’t matter that the show “Enchantment” was not much more than regurgitated sitcom jokes told by cardboard characters strung together with a weak plot. (This is my personal review from re-reading it ten years later.) It didn’t matter because this group of teenagers spent more time raising money for church rental, building sets, props, and working on advertising then we did rehearsing. 

   On opening night I was the only member of the cast that remembered any lines, so we improvised our way through. By the third night one of our main cast members became gravely ill and was hospitalized for gallbladder surgery. The show was cancelled. Despite all of this, the worst thing of all happened…We were successful!  We made a three-thousand dollar profit on half of a run of a bad show. Mostly due to pity from the community, after all we were a self-contained under-aged theater company. Royal Court Productions was born. We plotted out several different productions: "Our Town", "A Christmas Carol", "Taming of the Shrew", none of which made it past a first rehearsal for various reasons, but mostly due to a lack of enthusiasm.  By summer of 1994 I decided to sit down and write another original comedy, not knowing how truly bad my first one was. Modeled from my imagination and the experiences I had at my first job at a retail store. “All I Want for Christmas” was typed out in one afternoon with my friend and critic Kristian-Nathan Dawson by my side the whole time. As I got up to use the bathroom once he took over typing and worked in a detail about a pickle sandwich, which remains in the script today. We instantly began production, planning a Christmas debut, and in late November our leading man decided he didn’t want to be an actor. This setback cost us over half of our bankroll and a good deal of confidence, but still we kept trying. As I became a father and was married at age twenty, Kristian took over the reins of RCP and attempted a production, also with a play that he wrote himself "Heart's Desire" in 1995 and it was produced successfully (even when one actor had to be replaced by a stuffed toy). Still it lacked the amazing profit beginners luck had brought us before. In 1996 Kristian, myself, and my new bride decided to go for broke "literally and figuratively" we completely self-sponsored "All I Want for Christmas". It had a difficult and (educational) production process, but was well received. The show only made a shiny nickel profit, but not entirely discouraged I attempted to write a children's show. We produced and preformed it with our only audience being the mother of one of our cast. Out of money we could not continue Royal Court Productions any longer. I attempted to content myself with everyday life but found myself writing shows. I worked with Tapestry Theatre Company as an actor, but still I wanted to see my own work brought to life. 

  In February of 1999 I self produced "Love by Request" as a one act and paired it with a Noel Coward one act "Overruled" with a good deal of help from my friends at Tapestry. That show almost broke even, but cost me enough to stop self-producing. I then focused on acting as my primary hobby and started preforming with Aldersgate Community Theatre. I love every moment on stage, especially when I get to deliver a good laugh line, still each production left me with more inspiration for a new play and a different story. I wanted to write shows that I would personally have as much fun watching as being a part of. So every night I was still up typing, re-reading and re-writing my shows. It’s like an illness with me. An illness I wish to share with the world. Play-writing brings me joy. Whether they get produced, read, or used as kindling for fires makes no difference. This is why I began my own website, 

Pullen Entertainment               Website est. 08/26/2011

to share my stories and my laughter with whoever may wish to share them with me. Since www.pullenentertainment's creation two of my one acts have been brought to the stage by the drama class of my very own West Potomac High school.  I chose the name Pullen Entertainment for many reasons, first and foremost because I am Tim PULLEN and this site ENTERTAINS me. I hope you find it entertaining as well.
