The Spirit in Drama: A Practial Guide For Churches And Schools

By David W. Eggebrecht

From choosing the right script to taking down the set, Spirit in Drama offers an introduction into the world of religious theater. This book is a step-by-step planning guide for the novice director called upon to lead a production. Included in this guide are resources for casting, rehearsals, makeup, costumes, scenery, and other issues the director may encounter. Unlike the typical theater process, Spirit in Drama emphasizes that religious drama offers another opportunity to proclaim God's Word. The author includes issues that have arisen in his own productions, along with tips on how to solve them. Each chapter focuses on a specific part of the production process: choosing a script, auditions, rehearsals, and more. Throughout this process, the author is clear that what holds the production together is always the grace of God, who gives talents and abilities to everyone so all may come together in faith to proclaim the Gospel.
