CPO Ordering Guide

Last updated: September 15, 2026

See also the "Placing an Order" section of our Frequently Asked Questions for more specifics about scripts/digital downloads/sheet music/photocopy licenses/etc.

Bulk Orders

All products on the CPO are continuously labelled as “in stock” regardless of actual quantity on our shelves. This allows producers, educators, and others making bulk purchases to add the number of scripts that they need to their cart without limitation.

However, due to real-world storage limitations, the CPO does not keep large quantities of books on hand. When the CPO receives an order, the purchased books will be ordered from a distributor if they are not on our shelves.

ALL customers placing bulk orders should expect to wait 6-8+ weeks for orders to be fulfilled.

Shipping Estimates

Shipping estimates will be different for each title. Always contact orders@playwrightsguild.ca if you know that you need your order soon PRIOR to placing your order, as we will always direct you to another source (typically the publisher directly) if that is the quicker option.

A typical estimate for an order (of a single paperback book) within Canada is 1-2 weeks to process the order, followed by 1-2 weeks for shipping. International orders will take longer.

Sample Scripts

Educators and producers can request samples HERE.

Not available to the general public, including actors interested in monologues.

Samples are typically NOT received the same day a request is made, several business days required for processing.

The sample will typically be a PORTION of the script. Full scripts must be purchased. Free scripts are NOT provided to educators needing approval for a production.

CPO Staff

The CPO is managed by one full-time PGC staff member, who also manages other programs. We appreciate your patience.
