Elementary school students were the original intended audience for each of the following scripts, although most of them would be appropriate for a more general adult audience or Sunday morning worship service. They have all been performed by Theatre in the Woods, the drama team that performs as part of the Sunday morning children's education program at Wooddale Church. Each includes an introduction and conclusion to help ease student audiences into and out of the performance.

Note on casting: Unless indicated by the initials M (male actor) or F (female actor), most roles can be performed by actors of either gender with small changes in scripting.
