There is no better way to illustrate God's word than drama - real people facing real life challenges right before real eyes and hearts.
We used most of these plays as part of worship services, but they also act as catalysts to bring a theater group together, spur discussion, or just have meaningful fun. And since they use one or two actors, and a minimum set, they're easy to put on.
