Script Service and Examples
The Parable Theatre Company began as a script writing company for churches. Beginning in 1997, we have offered a free script writing service for any church who would be able to follow our guidelines - to give us six weeks notice, to know the teaching pastor's topic and bibilical references, and to give us a basic idea regarding space, cast size, and what genre would be preferred - comedy or drama. What follows is a select list of frequently requested scripts. Contact us if you'd like copies of these scripts, or want to take advantage of our free service. You may also click on Scott Hayes' e-portfolio to see images from two full length plays - Redeeming Love and Searching for His Heart.
