    My nephew and I are writing what I think is a different idea for a 
play. At least I have never heard of it before. First I wrote the basic 
outline for the Christmas portion. It begins with a grandfather telling 
the Christmas story to his little grandaughter. You also see the 
reaction of heaven and hell(satan, demons, heavenly angels, etc.). Hell 
knows something is up and satan sends his imps to spy and finds out the 
plan of salvation. Also all the ways satan tries to stop the "plan" 
from coming about.  Well the unusual thing is, at the end, there is a 
continuation. That's when you invite everyone to come back at Easter 
for the part II. That's the best part! There is a great battle between 
heaven and hell just after the part where satan thinks he's won because 
Jesus was murdered on a cross. The battle begins when Jesus makes his 
"grand" entrance into hell to take the keys. Our young people should do 
quite well at it. We have quite a drama department. Anyway, the only 
conflict is, the play isn't finished being written yet. If anyone is 
interested let me know and I'll see if I can send you a completed copy 
of it when it's finished.  =}
