Present half the Bible in one evening! Creation Chronicles is based upon Old Testament literature and opens with a scene from Genesis: the creation of the earth, the sky and all things. A jubilant God explains to “creative consultant” Gabriel about gravity, elephants and even puns. Finally God unveils an early draft for humans, wondering aloud just “what they will do.”
But “making us was the easy part,” explain the playwrights, Ted & Lee. Creation Chronicles takes new angles on old stories to examine God’s various attempts at relationship with and understanding of human beings, culminating in something totally new: the advent of Christ. Along the way are various detours including a hilarious rendition of Song of Solomon.
Originally written for two actors, the play has 17 characters, so could include a cast of that many. Permission granted to make multiple copies of the script as needed for the cast you’re working with.
Scenes include: THE CREATION / CAIN & ABEL / THE FLOOD / TOWER OF BABEL / ABRAHAM / DESERT SONGS / THE GOLDEN CALF / JERICHO / SAMUEL / SOLOMON / JEREMIAH / WXPR TV / JONAH / ADVENT
Royalty payments are required for each performance. See details below. Purchase of this download grants permission for multiple copies of the script to be duplicated, as needed.
Royalties
Royalties are due regardless of type of use (profit or non-profit). Special permission must be acquired for profit ventures such as touring stock, dinner theater, etc. No special permission is required if a non-profit such as a church is performing Creation Chronicles as a fund-raiser.
- $25/performance under one hour
- $50/performance over one hour
(if performing the same material for multiple church services on the same day, only one royalty is due.)
- $150/unlimited, not-for-profit use license for one year (12 months from time of first use). One option for this kind of use would be to perform the play serially (i.e. doing one scene each week)
