About the Book:

All the basic knowledge for staging almost any religious play in one stagecraft book.

Stagecraft for Christmas and Easter Plays gives examples of typical biblical scenes, shows how to build scenery and props with simple tools, and explains techniques for painting realistic scenery. Many illustrations throughout. Effective scenery brings plays to life.

James Hull Miller's ideas on small open stage theatre architecture and simple screen-like free standing scenery will last forever. His methods are low cost, ideal for schools, churches and other amateur performances, require modest skills and have high design appeal.
