Smith and Kraus Publishers

Smith and Kraus Publishers, founded in 1990 by Marisa Smith and Eric Kraus, is the premier U. S. publisher of contemporary trade theater books and associated digital resources. Currently S&K boasts over 600 titles in print, a sophisticated monologue app with 4000+ entries (more added monthly), and a plan to complete the conversion of all print books to e-book format and be on all major e-book platforms by year’s end. New projects well under way, include Productions In Print (PIP) and Playwrights In An Hour (PIAH). Negotiations are underway for S&K to partner with Kanjy, a forward looking, interactive platform, designed to facilitate communication between playwrights, producers and other interested parties. We are the leading source for books about theater—from collections of monologues and scenes for use in class or at auditions, to contemporary and classic play collections, to acting technique and career resource titles. In addition, we have a substantial list of books for children and teachers.
