Plays

Read Malachi 1-4

Malachi 3:5 "And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts."

Plays are still alive and well. When we have television, movies, and the Internet to choose from, plays still have their own brand of excitement.

The themes are the same, although the way the subject matter is presented has changed from those days of the Greek tragedies and Shakespeare. The more marketable plays have minimal set requirements so they can be presented even on a tight budget.

Children’s markets are especially hungry for new plays. Since the play might be presented by a class, writers are wise to put in plenty of characters and the flexibility that some might be able to be divided or combined, depending on how many children need parts.
