Jesus at 10 (an evening of 10 short plays)

    I love stories that portray Jesus and those close to him as regular people with hopes and dreams and fears and flaws, and this collection of shorts does just that. It makes you see the Jesus story in a new light and leaves you with a lot to think about. While each piece can stand on its own, it's particularly moving to experience them all together. What a lovely and surprisingly touching collection of shorts!

    A perfect selection for Christian groups, beautifully bringing much to life about Jesus, God and the faith. Well done.

    Church groups--who are constantly on the lookout for faith-based plays to present--would do well to look at this series of shorts that can be performed separately or as a complete evening. Presenting plenty of opportunity for discussion, these plays are built from many layers of faith, poetry and, most of all, humanity. Lovely and moving.
