American Girl Magazine Plays
American Girl Magazine Plays are an inclusion in the American Girl Magazine of four plays, each one based on one of the first four Historical Characters.
Overview
The plays are original stories (instead of being based on the Central Series) and similar to those included in the Theater Kits, but on a smaller one-act scale.
The script pages are intended to be removed from the magazines and then stapled together to make a sixteen-page script book. The first pages list the characters (five to eight characters, with some characters able to be played by a single actor in a dual role) and a list of items to make the set and props. The back cover includes tips for players (actors) and how to put together the script book. Among the script are original illustrations.
