Educational

Written by Brenda Wilbert

My medical one-act plays are intended to educate the public to the healing and transformational benefits of expressive arts for a variety of illnesses, medical or psychological conditions. These plays are ideal for stage readings with discussions afterwards. Please contact Schoolhouse Players if you would like to host a stage reading or rent a play.
