Have you been asked to direct a church program and don’t know where to start? Maybe you’re a seasoned director but wish you had a way to keep track of everything with fewer hassles. I have directed over 100 church and homeschool plays. I created the forms in this book to make my life easier as a director. Now, I’m sharing them with you! Make as many copies as you need for all your productions with the reproducible Forms and Tools found in this gem of a book! Stay organized with the following professional-looking fill-in forms: Auditions, Cast/Phone Numbers, Character Sketch, Crew/Phone List, Stage Manager’s Checklist, Rehearsal Notes, Rehearsal Schedule, and Sign-up.

Share important information with your cast about acting, staying in character, projecting your voice, etc. with the 3-page Cast Member Letter. Educate them with the Theater Terms handout.

Learn how to create beautiful costumes and simple or elaborate sets and where to find backdrops, props, etc. without breaking the bank or your budget!

"We invite you to step back in time with us, back over 2,000 years to the foot of an old rugged cross. As you do, you will meet real people who were a part of that scene so long ago. Each had a unique response to that Roman cross and the One hanging there--the One on the center of three crosses, the One over Whose head the inscription was posted, “This is Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.”

So begins A Picture of Calvary, an extremely moving presentation of the gospel that will prompt your audience to consider their own response to Christ. With a flexible script and fourteen individual monologues, it’s an easy-to-produce option for Easter or any time of year. God has used this program mightily! As one director put it, “Some programs are good; this one is profound!”
