Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Easter Play--Musical

Message

   I'm looking for an Easter play to be performed by our high school students at a church-affiliated school.  Most of the scripts I've read are very weak in the acting, require 30 men and 0 women, or have music we can't do.
Requirements:  

more women than men, or at least 5 strong female roles
a Passion theme (story of Jesus' ministry, death, and resurrection)
traditional music for the songs (no contemporary Christian, country western, or rock)
90-120 minutes running time
I know this is a long-shot, but if anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

	Try some of the following sites. They might prove helpful: christiancrafters.com ... These are mostly "skits". nph.com ... There are shorter plays here. Season Tickets: The Easter Edition looked like it might work. faithwriters.com ... You can hire writers here! My Redeemer Lives looked hopeful. easterscript.com ... There's a script here that uses as little as 50 actors (as little as?!), but they might be able to assist you in finding something for a smaller cast.

	I have another one for you! It's called 'Mary's Journey' christianplaywright.org/Marys%20Journey.html It's 90-120 minutes long depending on pace and has 8 main female characters and 4 males.
