Ted Kneebone. 

This radio play was written for and about the kids at St. Mark's Episcopal Sunday School. In part of the play, they are themselves. Later, some of them act characters in Jesus life, real and fictional. I used pieces from Handel's Messiah for the music and the opening and closing. I had hoped the choir would provide the live music, but since that was not possible, we used recordings. There are very few sound effects. We used one of the high school students as our audio technician and another to do the sound effects. Our priest was the station announcer. If this is produced again, we will have to change the call letters. There really is a station KSMC!

By combining parts, the cast can be smaller. We used mixers and an amplifier, 4 microphones plus mixers, fed into the church's public address system. The recording was made by the church's cassette recorder patched into the public address system.

No royalty fee is charged, but I would appreciate a recording of the play and any comments you might have about it.
