Plot

Eve, Mrs. Job, Lot's Wife, Rebekah, Ruth, Jezebel, Widow of Zarepahath, Anna, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene all appear in this play and tell their stories.  Seven of these women were wise in godly ways, and some lived completely foolish lives. The audience hears their stories and lessons and are adjured to "choose God to be our master, His Son to be our Lord, and His Holy Spirit to be our guide."

Stage, or riser, with side curtains, organ, or
