I would like to know if you are producing plays

See below the synopsis of each of them

The Young People's Plays

This is a collection of short plays that mirrors the life of young students from the Nursery to the primary (or elementary), all the way to secondary (or High School) levels. With didactic intents, the plays aimed to educate, inspire and entertain readers and audience whose love for young people growing up to be responsible adults is a priority.

Each play has its synopsis, characters and the subsequent story

The Success Story

Greg is the best of all students in his department - The department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Perth. However, he is dissatisfied, despite being the best student in his department. But he experiences a turnaround when he reads the book, ‘’Find Your Way Back” at the place where his friend and course mate, Harp, lives. He eventually becomes what he had ever dreamt of—a Successfully Published author. Though Greg faces discouragement finding a publisher, he becomes the success he presently is, through the support of his family, especially his sister, Jane, Head of Department, Dr Tim Yale and friend, Harp

Title: What Are We Leaving Behind? (A Play)

Synopsis

James is worried about the discrepancy of his income not meeting up

with his expenses. Johnson, though unemployed, is appreciative of his

situation. Alex is employed and doing well but he's not fulfilled; he

is concerned if this would be what he'd leave behind.

Anita, Esther and Sylvia are at logger heads with each because the

world's influence is affecting their belief in Christ. Will James find

a last solution to his predicament? Will the ladies find succor in the

word of God?

The play, ''What Are We Leaving Behind'' tells us how the affairs of

the world system tends to creep into the minds, through thoughts and

actions, of young Christians but avails them the opportunity to stand

strong in faith, despite their familiarity with the things going on in

the world they live in.

Are You Saved? (Yes I Am)

Synopsis

Venue: The Multi-purpose Hall of The Fountain of Truth Church,

Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Venue of the Three-day 6th Annual Meeting (Day

Three )

Margaret Hare, the ''last'' testifier, brings to Rev. Michael Xhosa's

remembrance is past deed---raping her and her younger sister while in

Zimbabwe. He is almost losing composure in the presence of the entire

congregation but God makes use of the programs Anchor to divinely

inspire him to the reality of who he is... in the light of God's word.

His confidence is gained and his ''unusual'' sermon

begins.Interestingly, Margeret Hare's testimony becomes the

inspiration behind his unusual sermon: 'Are You Saved? (Yes, I Am)'

SUMMARY

Margaret Hare's heartfelt testimony is bringing to questioning Rev.

Michael Xhosa's salvation, in relation to his evil past: Are You

Saved? A question he has to answer evidently...in the presence of his

congregation

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

David is in the business of regularly beating up Sylvia black and blue and asserting derogatory words at her. Anita’s counsel isn’t helping matters either, as Sylvia contends with her advice. However, Johnson’s uncompromising words are targeted towards David turning a new leaf towards his wife. Tom and Michelle are the obviously not happy with their dad’s behavior.

It comes to a time when David would have to give up the habit of abusing Sylvia and become a role model to his children---On Mother’s Day---a point where reconciliation is inevitable.

I look forward to your reviewing them

Hi: Sorry I took this long to respond, But I've been busy... No, I don't produce plays. Sorry. Wish you the best.

Congrats. Keep up the good work.

Congrats Maria!!
