Turn back the clock with this nostalgic slice of old-time radio theatre drama! Sean: A Christmas cliffhanger serial adventure! Jack: With commercial advertisements! Hope: And music! Wiley: Don't forget the sound effects! Cassidy: And maybe even a weather report! Announcer: Places everyone! WPWP Radio Theatre is on-the-air! And with that line, a cast of nine actors transport the imaginations of church, school, or community theatre audiences to a 1940's radio station for a special broadcast of "The Adventures of Marshall Mission: Christmas Takes a Holiday." Story Synopsis: Miss Frieda is swept up in the Hustle and Bustle of the Christmas season, carried away into the chaotic clutches of the vile Ebenezer Frenzy! Now, she's locked up in Turmoil Tower, fed by Fear and Anxiety on the Treadmill of Trials. Only her neighbor, Marshall Mission, Janitor Man, and his faithful assistant Brillio Boy, have the arsenal of soaps and dust-busters necessary to sponge away her confused state of mind and heart. But, Filth and Foul are afoot armed with clutter and calamity. How will Marshall Mission overpower the enemy and set her clean free to share and celebrate the true Reason for the Christmas Season? This entertaining and inspiring one-act comedy, running about 45 minutes, keeps the laughs coming with a three episode Marshall Mission cliffhanger story sponsored by hilarious commercial products like Heavenly House Coffee and the Manna Mix Baking Company. Clever puns, jingles, campy comedy, and ensemble acting makes this a great drama choice for youth groups and students grades five and up. Simple sets, costumes, and props make production achievable for limited budgets, allowing the director more time to invest in grooming student performances. We leave the theatre with our hearts lifted and minds engaged, pondering God's truths. Parents and children further their "take-away" from the drama with constructive conversation about important aspects of their faith and the choices they make--family literacy. Script for the director includes production notes and study guides.

In Wannabe Village, Weaver lingers on the corner of Waiting Lane wondering when she will receive an Invitation to come, and a Key to unlock, the gateway to her Field of Dreams. Discouraged by the admonishments of Mistress Doubts-a-Lot, lately come for tea, Weaver clasps her tapestry of woven words tight to her body, fearing to step out into the courtyard of risk. Instead, she shrinks back, watching other weavers petition the Gatekeeper on the margins of Muchado Wall for an Invitation to pass through the gate to possibility. An unexpected stroke thrusts the coveted missive into her hand, tossed aside by an ungrateful heart. It's not her Invitation-but it may be her opportunity to confront the Gatekeeper, at last. Will she GO?If you've ever felt stuck within walled confines, paralyzed by fear, intimidated by risk, blocked from crossing the threshold of your full potential into the field of your dreams, desires, or calling in life, Weaver's story-world meditations provide hope to help you persevere in uncertain days. You'll find help to discern your place and season, with encouragement to see purpose in boundaries, find comfort in trials, and gain fortitude in going forth. Short story, personal testimony, excerpts from classic literature, visual imagery, challenge questions for discussion, and journal prompts for writing assignments draw you before the Gatekeeper, too.Writer, speaker, teacher, and enrichment artist, Kathryn Ross, sweeps readers into the story-worlds of Jane Austen, C. S. Lewis, Hannah Hurnard, Marguerite de Angeli, John Bunyan, and others, exploring powerful truths to fulfilling God's plan for your life. It's quite a journey-but you're never alone. Always in His Presence, with an Invitation, a Gatekeeper, and a Key. Perhaps more than one.

At the Edge of Forget is not a traditional collection of individual works. Rather, each poem has been crafted in a long-distance collaborative process between two, three, and even all four authors, from Michigan to California, USA, to Melbourne and coastal Victoria, Australia. The work explores memory and friendship, passion and love, death and grieving, and much in between.
