A Reader’s drama in the Tenebrae form, (pronounced ten-na-bray), recapturing the mood of the original Good Friday.

The music, (if any), would be mournful and slow, likely…

It became apparent that some kids "got a Dad" while others "seemed to get paid off in gifts for a Dad's unavailability." Cast: 3 teen-aged girls (could be m or f) Bible Reference: 1 John…

A wonderful drama with suggested music, (One Drop of Blood and Does He Still Feel The…
