Transformed

5 Bible-based one-act plays portraying the people closest to Jesus Christ, transformed by his resurrection. Mary, his mother, transformed from giver of life to receiver of life (light drama; 2F, 2M + M/F extras); Simon Peter, from brash betrayer to the Church's solid rock (light drama/comedy; 2M, 1M/F); Mary Magdalene, from desolate disciple to eternal beloved (monologue, heavier drama, 3 optional solo songs); James, from skeptical brother to ardent worshiper (two versions: ten-minute interview/light drama, 1M, 1M/F; or musical comedy/light drama, five ensemble ditties; 1M, 3-4M/F); John, from seeker of worldly honors to evangelist for sacrificial kingdom glory (monologue, light drama). Running time averages about half an hour per play, except for James interview version. Minimal staging requirements. Includes noncommercial performance rights for church and nonprofit groups. "I really, really, really, loved the scripts in Transformed: 5 Resurrection Dramas. Every time I'd declare one my favorite, the next one I read then became my favorite. The author brought me into the heads of the characters with dialogue that was powerful, at times even breathtaking. Her humor adds the perfect spice to these stories. I loved the music, too. Mary Magdalene's songs were very moving, and the witty lyrics of James's little ditties kept making me ask, 'Where does she come up with this?' Great entertainment and a great message." -Vie Stallings Herlocker, Editor, Sonfire Media
