Twenty Plays (under construction)

This collection of plays is written for secondary school drama students. They are intended to bring experience to these students, and to forage community relationships. Each play is written for a small cast, 4-5 students and minimal stage decor. These plays are short, approximately twenty minutes. Each play has a musical compoent to bring the audience into the production and add an additional element of interest. The music offered is both original music set to original lyrics and taditional hymns. 

The Project wishes to be helpful, but we are not the agents. The Twenty Plays are published as a collection with music and scripts. A school or youth organization may share with themselves from a single copy, or share scores with their audiences. The work must avoid republicaton or copy beyond this immediate, and obvious, audience.  The Virginia Writers Project functions as a  nonprofit, educational organzation. Contact us for additional information and engagement. The hymns are in the public domain, at http://openhymnal.org. The original songs and plays are commercially licensed.
