COLUMBUS, Wis. – October 15, 2026 – Playwright Deb Meyer has launched Ink to Stage (inktostage.com), a new website offering a collection of published and produced plays that have carried her work from Wisconsin community theatre stages to a theatre club on the Scottish coast.

The launch follows a robust publication season with three plays being published in the last two years. In addition, Meyer’s comedic short Gurl Talk was featured in the 2024 Florida Playwrights Competition and was performed at a women’s event in Madison in 2025. Her children’s comedy Dastardly Devon, a retelling of the big-bad-wolf story built around bullying and belonging, was performed in 2025 by the Carnoustie Theatre Club in Scotland. Her thriller The Whole Shebang, was a 2021 Garry Marshall New Works Festival semi-finalist, and is published by Lazy Bee Scripts. Her family-friendly comedy, Cobble Me This was performed in 2025 at the Beaver Dam Fine Arts Center and is published by Lazy Bee Scripts. Her lively children’s play, Curses! A Fractured Fairies Tale was performed in 2022 at the Beaver Dam Area Fine Arts Center and is published by Big Dog Plays.

Ink to Stage is designed to take the guesswork out of production decisions. Each play is listed with its genre cast size and run time — a cast of two for Gurl Talk, four for The Whole Shebang, five for Cobble Me This, nine to twelve for Curses! A Fractured Fairies’ Tale, ten to fifteen for Dastardly Devon along with links directly to the publisher holding their license. Ink to Stage also carries production photos and a writer’s blog, From the Desk of Deb Meyer, where she shares thoughts on creativity and her writing process.

“I’m committed to writing engaging plays audiences will love and community theatre’s can afford to produce. My stories are filled with laughter, tension, humor and heart.”

Meyer has been writing for over 25 years, discovering playwriting after a career in graphic arts, copywriting and advertising. She is a member of the Dramatists Guild of America, New Play Exchange and Playwrights Ink.

Her scripts are available through Lazy Bee Scripts, Big Dog Plays and New Play Exchange.
