Our New Website

After six months of intense development, we are pleased to launch the new Broadway Play Publishing Inc website at www.broadwayplaypublishing.com. Ours is the first โ€œresponsiveโ€ site in the theatrical publishing and licensing industry, which means that the site has been designed to resize itself according to the screen dimensionsย of the device youโ€™re using. So whether youโ€™re visiting us on a tablet or a smartphone you should be able to navigate and make purchases the same as if you were on a computer. Among other innovative features of the site, you'll find the ability to zoom in for close-ups on the books and the convenience of being able to add plays, ePlays, performance-rights applications, artwork, and production materials all into a single cart with a streamlined checkout process. Our new shipping options provideย real-time USPS and UPS rates, or you may use your organizationโ€™s own UPS shipping account. Options to pay for your purchases and performance licenses now includeย credit cards, PayPal, bank transfer, or check, and, for our resale and educationalย customers, aย purchase order number. If you already know the titles youโ€™d like, thereโ€™s theย Quick Order page that will allow you to quicklyย add plays, ePlays, and collections to your cart and head immediatelyย to checkout. The Plays page offers a sidebar that will allow you to dynamically filter the list of titles presented to you by the criteria of your choice, whether title, author, genre, cast size, cast gender, or runtime, among others. And on this, our new blog, weโ€™ll keep you posted aboutย new acquisitions and publications, our authorsโ€™ activities, and we'll feature guest authors from time to time from the New York theatrical community and beyond. Finally, as it isย with any complex new technology released into the wild, there are likely to be bugs we donโ€™t know about. Please feel encouraged to personally alert me to any you encounter at michael@broadwayplaypublishing.comย so we can iron them out. In the meantime, we'll be starting on our next round of development for the site to bring you even more innovative and helpful features. Thank you for your continued interest in Broadway Play Publishing Inc. We very much hope that you'll enjoy using the new site, and feel encouraged to share your thoughts on it with us.
