About Us:
Theatrethical publishes retellings of classical works, true to their original lessons and morals, as plays for your stage! We make it a point to find scripts that are family-friendly, so you can focus more on the story itself, rather than worrying about the content it might contain.

“Theatrethical has been an incredible blessing to our small classical Lutheran school! Despite our wide range of ages, the Theatrethical resources have allowed every student to truly embody the stories of our curriculum. More than just gaining performance experience, the students also naturally, and with great excitement, work toward mastering difficult communication skills such as tone, timing, volume, speed, pacing, and listening to one another. The scripts are delightful and rich which has created a shared culture around the truths we wish to preserve and pass on. We pray Theatrethical will continue their work in bringing rhetoric training to life for years to come!”
