You should purchase plays from this page if your production has revenue (e.g. a YouTube production with ad-revenue or a performance that charges for admission). If you are just purchasing a play to read for yourself, you can also go to amazon.com (Franklin, Frederick Douglass, Norton I, Patterson vs Reed).

For production, per the license, you should pay for a new copy of the play for each person involved (actors, directors, crew, assistants, etc.). Multiply the number of people involved by $3 USD for the total amount you should pay.

If you aren't sure that a person is "involved" enough (e.g. he or she gave you a word of advice on the phone), just let your conscience be your guide. If your production has revenue of more than $1 million USD, congratulations; please pay 1% royalties to P Aaron Mitchell in a timely manner (me@paaronmitchell.com).

Once purchased (on your honor), printable and for-screen copies of each play can be downloaded here:
