Plays to Perform at Easter Holidays

Here is a selection of play scripts with religiousmoral plays for children and faith communities. that are suitable for churches, schools and religious communities to produce at Easter time. Many are monologues that allow for easy staging in any venue like a church, community hall, or school.

Re-enacting the passion of Christ, like in a Passion Play, isn’t always possible or practical for most congregations and the selection of plays here reflect either biblical stories or moral tales that align with wider Easter themes of resurrection, reformationrenewal, hope and love for others.  Some are based on Bible stories and others are outstanding original dramas or adaptations.
