Christian Plays create “an evening at the theater,”
hosted by your drama ministry.

A vibrant Christian theater outreach program serves as a magnet to attract your community to your church campus, where they will (hopefully) return to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. These full-length Christian plays range in topics from Christmas plays (that can be done with or without music), to sexual abstinence programs for youth, to children’s outreach in the public schools, as well as hilarious comedies to be enjoyed in a dinner theater setting.

All of these Christian plays portray God’s love and God’s presence in the life of the believer, as well as build healthy relationships, encourage spiritual growth, and challenge your congregation to evangelism. Two other categories of full-length Christian plays also appear here under “Christian Plays”: First, the ever-popular Christmas Madrigal Dinner Theater, which is a 16th century Old English Christmas feast, with a classic Medieval play interwoven among the courses of the meal; and second, the Skits On A Theme, which combine several short skits with a narrative that ties them all together to make one thematic statement.

.

In this category also resides one of Cora’s most powerful full-length Christian plays, “God, Look!” This is a one-hour “dream play” written to answer the question, “What is it that pleases God the most?” It speaks to every person’s search for significance. It follows the adventures of a new Christian, “Lost,” who becomes “Found,” then learns from her “Teacher” the importance of helping one “Lost” person at a time become “Found.”

Cora has also written an Easter Passion Play, entitled “God’s Masterpiece.” This 90-minute experience is excellent for community outreach or family ministry.

As a captivating musical drama, the play introduces five original songs by the accomplished writer, composer, and arranger, Keith Ward. In addition to the sweeping grandeur of his original music, Keith reintroduces four familiar hymns of the church with fresh arrangements that usher the audience into a time of personal, emotional connection with the timeless story of the passion of Jesus Christ.

This awe-inspiring production gives the audience time to think, time to feel, and time to react emotionally to the phenomenal miracle of God becoming man, then dying to redeem humanity, His greatest treasure.

It is an excellent tool to show children the results of their choices and makes a wonderful outreach into the public schools for youth groups.
