I am doing a BA(Hons) in Theatre and Media studies and I am regularly asked to produce extracts from plays to read and then rehearse and perform. Where can I get free scripts.

Borrow them from the public library

Plays' scripts are almost never found online unless they're out of copyright. The writer and publisher continue to make money selling performance rights and copies as long as there are theatre groups which might perform the work, so they're pretty vigilant about not letting the work appear free anywhere on the net. Movie scripts are abundant, of course, because nobody's going to be making a local version of the same movie. Have you visited the library? You can find lots there, and with luck, a librarian to suggest some to check out.

I suggest writing your own play scripts. They can suit you, the audience and the story line. If you are asked to read extracts out loud try and find books from public libraries or even from your schools/universities library.

There are a lot of young playwrights out there who are always looking for someone to produce their scripts. You might want to approach places like to Old Vic, Menagerie, WriteOn (google 'new writing company' and see what comes up) - basically any company that aims to help young playwrights, and ask them if they have any playwrights on their books who might be interested in seeing their work on stage.
Good luck!

Ask your prof. what script book is being used......I use Masters of Modern Drama when I adjunct to get some extra lucre. There's usually a library or place on the net were you can sneak a peek for educational purposes.
