Stage Partners, an independent theatrical publishing company, has acquired four plays by acclaimed Australian author, Finegan Kruckemeyer: The Boy at the Edge of Everything, Four Found a Mountain, The Girl Who Was a Hundred Girls, and Love. Stage Partners will represent the North American stage rights for these titles.

"Finegan is a writer whose vivid imagination and lyrical prose has been an inspiration to us at Stage Partners for quite a while. To have the opportunity to publish and license his work is a dream come true," says Stage Partners Co-Founder and Artistic Director Jason Pizzarello.

"As someone who has licensed my own work for many years, I was excited when Stage Partners first approached me about publishing my plays. Their reputation as an artist-driven and independent company with exceptional customer service convinced me that this was the right home for these plays," says Mr. Kruckemeyer.

Mr. Pizzarello added, "As we continue to establish ourselves as the leading independent voice in theatrical publishing, we are committed to championing bold and inventive artists such as Finegan."

The four titles acquired by Stage Partners are now published and are available to read for free on the Stage Partners website and are available for licensing across North America. Mr. Kruckemeyer will continue to license his work, including the international hits Where Words Once Were and This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing, outside of North America via his website www.finegankruckemeyer.com.
