This collection of 16 skits, sketches, playlets and monologues is specifically designed for use in Family Home Evenings, Relief Society meetings, Firesides, AP/YW meeting nights Primary Activity Days, and other Ward and Stake presentations. These short plays (not longer than 20 minutes) are designed primarily to teach, in an interesting way, a single or group of related Gospel principles. Drama makes all things easily understandable and able to be grasped by anyone who is learning. They are easy to produce and very affordable.  They can all be easily produced with a minimum of props and costumes and no setting. Or you can be as elaborate as you want. All of these short plays are published in a Resource Manual that is available to Church libraries or individuals at a cost of $8.95.  Nothing may be photocopied out of the Resource Manual. It is against the law!!!  The price of the Resource Manual does NOT include any production rights!  A Production Package of each skit may be purchased at the listed price (below). Each Production Package purchase permits you to print a certain number of copies from the PDF original that will be emailed to you. The Production Package fee also is good for one full year, so you can produce as manytimes during that year as you desire. It is renewable by purchasing another Production Package for another year.
