Choral Readings for Church Programs
by Janet Litherland

An easy-to-present collection of four chancel dramas for a speaking choir and a minimum of characters.

Contains: Let's Talk About the Ten Commandments (8 copies required for production), a powerful discussion by various types of church members on whether to follow the Commandments seriously, or file them in the church basement.

There Was a Man (8 copies required for production), Job wrestles with his conscience, with his friends (the choir), and with God while struggling to answer the question, Why me?

The Birth Announcement (8 scripts required for production) This easy to produce chancel drama compares the reception of an earthly baby with that of the Heavenly Baby and challenges listeners to accept responsibility for Jesus as he is born in the hearts of humanity.

Minimum memorization; can be presented with one rehearsal.

Resurrection Morning (6 copies required for production) points to the heart of Christianity -- the risen Christ.

The Choir narrates the scene at the empty tomb as Christ appears to Mary Magdalene.

Each drama makes a pertinent Biblical point with depth, perception, and strength.

Limited memorization required.
