When asked what play they wanted to perform, the kids told me “Moana!” So, this is a simplified stage play script for a story based around Disney’s Moana movie.

The Princess & the Pizza - Small Group Reader's Theater
I have combined 2 Small Group Reader's Theaters into this package. They are the same title, The Princess and the Pizza but one is written for 3 characters and one is written for 4.

The moral in these stories deals with when a person should get married and why but it is also meant to be funny. The reason I rewrote the story twice is that I
