DOVETALE: Complete Script (PDF) NEW!
Download the script for a fresh and funny, yet touching 80-minute Christmas play. DoveTale (written by Ted Swartz, Lee Eshleman and Ingrid De Sanctis). The play highlights the characters in this familiar Bible story as they walk through the months, weeks and days leading up to the birth of Jesus.
DoveTale finds gentle humor and moments of epiphany as Mary, Joseph and Gabriel stumble through the gritty realities of God becoming human. Other minor characters include: a couple of earthy shepherds, a verbose innkeeper, chatty Elizabeth and her mute husband Zechariah, and a wedding photographer. May be played by 3 -10 actors.
SCENES: The Announcement / At Bartholomew's /The Phone Call / Joseph's State / The Dream / The Reconciliation / No Room at the Inn / Shepherds with their Flocks / The Barnyard Chorus / Your Eyes?
The DoveTale scriptbook will soon be available. The difference between the download script and the scriptbook is that the book includes pictures, side notes and a history of the development of the play.
Download the original music written by Jeff Raught. Use the soundtrack for your own performance or play the music (score included in the script). Consider using the DoveTale DVD as a great additional resource for your drama group.
