Holiday Plays for Cultures Worldwide gathers a vibrant selection of family-friendly one-act scripts, each celebrating holiday traditions from Western and Eastern cultures. Under the editorial guidance of American playwright Danah Lassiter, the book showcases diverse voices from around the world, each offering a unique lens on celebration while sharing universal themes of joy, togetherness, and tradition. With small casts of six characters or less, these imaginative shorts are ideally suited for small theatre troupes, classrooms, and community programs eager to honor cultural diversity on stage.
Selected from hundreds of submissions to Kinsman Quarterly's global playwriting contest, these scripts were chosen by a dedicated review team for their originality, cultural richness, and performance-ready appeal. The collection proudly features the Grand Prize winner, Russell Nichols, alongside runner-ups Maya De La Torre and Melanie Payne, whose works anchor this anthology with exceptional storytelling and memorable characters. Whether for a school performance, community events, or intimate theatre production, Holiday Plays for Cultures Worldwide invites audiences to experience the beauty of holidays that connect us all.
