MajestyPublishing
A Dramatic Mission
In 2022, Molly Ishmael founded Majesty Publishing as a way to share quality sacred and family-friendly theatrical scripts. In her years a high school drama director, she experienced first-hand the struggle of locating appropriate options for competition and shows. She found that great pieces ARE out there, but finding them can be like searching for a needle in a haystack! Many times, Molly ended up writing original pieces to fill the void. Finally, she felt the Lord lay it on her heart to publish her own writing along with a collection of fantastic scripts by other authors and share it all in one place, so that fellow workers can find drama program resources without having to search far and wide!
With her background as a leader in church drama ministry, homeschool group drama producer, Christian theatre educator, youth fine arts festival competitor, and award-winning writer, Molly feels especially equipped to "know what to look for" when it comes to the unique needs of private and Christian schools, churches, and homeschool groups. It's her prayer that as our online catalog continues to grow, Majesty Publishing can fulfill our dramatic mission: To glorify God through the performing arts using the gifts and talents He gave us!
If you're looking for a special, sacred showstopper, browse our catalog now! We also offer a large selection of pieces that are totally FREE! For questions about any of our scripts, or if you have a custom request, please contact us anytime.
May the Lord bless you as you use your God-given gifts for His glory!
