Several of mine are there, a bunch by Scott Card, Scott Bronson, James Arrington. They've recently sold the catalog to another company, the name of which currently escapes me. One of the things I hope to do when and if Nauvoo Theatrical Society gets enough money is to publish reading versions of individual plays. The BYU drama department, last time I checked, has a great library of plays written for master theses and the like. It would be neat to get ones hands on those and make them available to the reading public. Encore Performance Publishing has a pretty complete catalog of LDS plays.

You'll be glad to hear that Zarahemla is putting out a collection of Mormon plays this year, compiled by Mahonri Stewart. He got some big names in Mormon playwriting, including both a play and an introduction to the collection by Orson Scott Card. More later. Sounds like an interesting idea.

It <i>would</i> be really nice to have a large corpus of Mormon creative works in a single location. And I agree, the payment scheme doesn't feel like it would fit in a post-Web 2.0 culture, but I can't think of any good alternatives. Then again, $40-80/year isn't bad at all -- especially if the content is worth it. (The ranking system seems like it would get better results than the entry fee, by the way.) Good idea.
