Please see some of our most frequently asked questions:
How do I place an order?
If you are a new customer and have already created an account, you must activate your account before you may place an order. Please check your e-mail and possibly junk e-mail folder for the link.
What’s my password to open my download?
This password is sent to you via e-mail and located in your account under downloadable products – click PDF password. This password is different from your Eldridge customer password for ordering.
Do you have a printed catalog?
The Eldridge catalog is sent to churches and individual customers each August. If you wish to receive a copy by mail, just search "catalog" and place an order.
How do I know how long a show will run?
Shows vary in length and times are often included in the description. When not specified, here’s our rule of thumb:
Full - length plays - 1 ½ to 2 hours.
Musicals - 1 ½ to 2 hours.
One - act plays - 20 to 40 minutes.
Youth theatre plays -45 minutes to 1 hour.
Another rough calculation is about a minute and a half per page. (1.5 min per page)
How can I get a catalog?
Eldridge’s catalogs are sent to churches and individual customers in August free of charge. If you wish to receive a copy by mail, just click here and add it to your shopping cart.
May I modify the play?
If you find you need to make minor alterations in the script to meet your community standards, casting or staging limitations, just contact us.
We would ask that you submit any requests (be as detailed as possible) via e-mail. Some directors do this by sending a scan, uploading a photo, or simply writing an email. Do not retype the script! We will review your request and get feedback from the playwright if necessary.
Changes are often allowable but must be approved by our editors. For a prompt response, e-mail them directly at editorial@histage.com.
Can we videotape our performance?
You may videotape a production for complimentary keepsakes or archival purposes. If you plan to sell the videos, a reasonable royalty is due. Please contact us at info@hiStage.com for specifics.
