From 1959 to 1985, Plays for Living was a division of the Family Service Association of America. The Plays for Living scripts, synopses, and brochures contains scripts that were published by Plays for Living from 1962 to 1995, a book of synopses of the scripts that were available for purchase from the organization in 1996, and various promotional brochures for the organization.
