Organizing free Church plays is always a concern. Managing the cast, regular practice, arranging for costumes...
But then Church Christmas plays not just entertain, they stimulate emotions and allow the poorer sections in the parish to participate and enjoy the true spirit of Christmas. How do you pull the costs down and still manage an entertaining production?
To begin with it is always better to choose small and easy to enact plays, even better if they are ‘children’s plays’! The next important step is to form a core committee. You can look for volunteers from the community. It is easy to post free ads through public services.
Once your volunteers are around, you can decide on the organizational aspects. Find a place where you can practice without having to pay any fee. And there you are ready to go!
