Last year's performance of Aaron Shepard's "A Christmas Truce" was one of the highlights of my holidays. Now that Tino is here, of course I'm back on the task of finding the perfect scripts, reader's theatres, and performance opportunities for this holiday. I think it might even be the right time for a little spontaneous public performance art.
Here's my current list of free scripts and reader's theatres. All PDFs are marked with a plus sign. An A indicates more adult-oriented drama, while a K indicates kid-oriented drama.
