Less than 10 Minutes
10 to 20 Minutes
21 to 30 Minutes
31 to 45 Minutes
46 to 60 Minutes

Caution: Run-times are estimates from word-count (plus estimates for songs, where applicable). This will vary enormously due to speaking rate, stage business, songs and dances and the logistics of getting large casts on and off small stages!.
School Plays
This category is here to identify
plays with a minimum of 25 performers and
plays with a chorus (in the sense of "crowd", not necessarily in the sense of "choir") which usually means that the plays can be done by a large group (sometimes multiple classes).

Rhyming Plays for Children
The verse plays include some plays with educational value (some of them in a mix of rhyme and prose), some rhyming drama just for fun, and, of course, the rhyming pantomimes

Select all educational plays or the specific topics listed... Plays about Bullying

History plays by theme:-

Pantomimes for Kids
These include
school pantomimes (specifically written for school-age children and generally no longer than an hour),
(short) rhyming pantomimes and
longer pantomimes that are within the range of (some) school-age groups.
