About This Book

A collection of short dramas, comedies, farces, musical allegories, and tableaux tailored for amateur and school performances. It gathers one-act and multi-act pieces — including a patriotic drama influenced by the recent civil conflict, a Christmas entertainment and a dramatization of a well-known holiday tale — with stage directions, costume notes, and casting options so performances can be scaled for private theatricals, school exhibitions, and veteran posts. Several pieces emphasize tableaux, songs, and simple choreography, while others provide comedy, temperance themes, and character sketches for small casts. The volume aims to supply practical material for community and educational theatrical presentations.
