Are We there Yet? Christian Musical (Play, Program) for Children

Are We There Yet?

A children's musical play that can be used at any time of the year for elementary-age (K-6) kids that includes 10 original praise and worship songs.

Are We There Yet? This children's musical invites you to come along on a bus trip where we discover that each day brings us closer to being the kids that God wants us to be in the world.

There are exciting things to see and do all along the way:
. . . Mile Marker 150 - a great spot to celebrate God's grace & faithfulness.
. . . Spark Spectacular - a place you visit to "get hit" by God-given sparks & then learn how to share those sparks with others.
. . . Flex Point - a scenic overlook that isn't just a destination. It is a game we learn to play for the rest of our lives.
. . . Joy Junction - a stop that reminds us that a thankful heart helps us to experience joy.
. . . Chew-ka Chew Snack Shop - a great place to grab a snack and a little something to feed our hearts and minds, too.

Every stop teaches us a little something about living as children of God. And even if we discover that we still have a ways to go, we are confident that God will be there to guide us every step (and at every stop) along the way.

Are We There Yet? includes:
1) 10 songs packed with claps, kazoos, actions, sign language and even one song with squiggly balloon or rubber band motions,
2) piano score with guitar chords,
3) a vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song),
4) a script with 16 spoken parts and 6 non-spoken parts (and the option to expand the parts to include more children or combine the parts for fewer children), prop list, and staging.
Performance time: approximately 40 minutes.

Purchase of this musical play ($39 plus shipping) grants you permission to make as many copies of the sheet music and script as needed for your performance plus permission to make and distribute copies of the vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) and lyric sheet to your kids (a great way for them to learn the music quickly!).

To preview this children's musical program, a script and vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) are available for $7 plus shipping. If you'd like to use the 10-12 minute script and insert your own children's music, purchase of performance rights for the script is $15. If you already have a script written and would like to use some of the songs from this musical, the sheet music & motions are available for $3.00 per song plus shipping. Sheet music includes piano score, guitar chords and motions. No CD is included when you purchase sheet music for individual songs.

A keyboard CD (no vocals) is also available for $20 plus shipping - for those times when your piano player isn't available or when you need to free up your hands to teach actions or sign language. This CD may also be used for your performance - it's like hiring a piano player who plays the music the same way every time!

"Our production of 'Are We There Yet?' was a smashing success last night. Thanks for writing and making available such a wonderful musical for our 5-day Music and Drama Camp. How refreshing to find a musical that entwines faith, grace, and flexibility into our lives in such a creative and fun way. Everyone was on stage all the time and the musical was adaptable enough to give everyone lines, solos, duets, or something special to do. I'm looking forward to doing another one of your musicals next summer!"
