Excerpt from The Star-Child, and Other Plays These little plays have all been acted by children, mainly for the joy of pageantry, but, in part, to assist in the building of a children's settlement, a House of Happiness, where also they have been performed. The acting time of each play is about forty-five minutes. Eight rehearsals to a play is the average. The simpler the setting, in general, the better! Indoor scenes a plain brown burlap has been found the best for a peasant setting; for kingly scenes have a handsome curtain at the back, a dais and a throne. For out-of-door scenes hang a deep blue curtain; against this, if desired, place real palm, box or bay trees, or have the conventional shapes cut out of wood and painted a Noah's ark green. Although only the first play (Where Love Is, There God Is Also) mentions "Christmas," and three of the others arc Easter plays (The Life Beyond, A Spark Neglected Burns the House, and King Robert of Sicily), nevertheless, each play strives to carry the message of "On Earth, Peace, Good Will Toward Men."

Excerpt from The Star-Child, and Other Plays
If this play is given out of doors, a wire may be stretched across the back; from this may be hung a gray curtain cut at the top so as to represent the machicolated walls of a medieval town. These curtains may be drawn across the back for the last scene.
