What Love Really Means- Christmas Play (Animals tell the Nativity Story)
This Christmas play was written for the kids at my church to perform. There are 13 speaking parts. Some speaking parts are fairly long and will need some work to memorize/read aloud. (For an idea of how long it is, there are about 1800 words total). There is no music, but I used the song, "What Love Really Means" by J.J. Heller for inspiration. Summary: On the night Jesus is born, Animals are trying to determine what is happening. They come to realize that humans don't realize how much God cares

When the group is small, they don't waste time sitting around waiting for their turn and get more time actua
The Princess & the Pizza - Small Group Reader's Theater
I have combined 2 Small Group Reader's Theaters into this package. They are the same title, The Princess and the Pizza but one is written for 3 characters and one is written for 4.

The moral in these stories deals with when a person should get married and why but it is also meant to be funny. The reason I rewrote the story twice is that I
