Welcome to Scripts By Warren. My name is Warren Sager and I have been writing Christian plays since I was in high school (more than 30 years).
I must begin by saying that I am a Christian first and foremost. I was raised in a Christian home and at the age of nine I became a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He is God, and that there are three persons making up The One True God: The Father, Son & Holy Spirit. I believe in the virgin birth of Christ and that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and without error. I believe that Jesus died for my sins, was buried and rose again, and by receiving His free gift of salvation, I have an eternal home in heaven.
With my dad being a pastor, I have always been actively involved in the church. I also developed a love for the theater and drama from a very early age.
In high school, I wanted to put on a Christmas drama in our church, so I wrote the script, gave out the parts (including myself) and then directed it.
I was in every play my school put on during the four years of high school, and right after graduating, I moved to California to pursue a career as an actor. (Check 1985 photo below) I studied for over a year under actor/singer Wendell Burton in Hollywood.
My desire has always been to honor the Lord, and I was not sure I could do that in Hollywood. I got a full time job in the postal se
rvice and continued to utilize my gifts in the church for His glory.
I married the church organist (Sharyn, my partner in life and my partner in the music ministry, and who is the real talent in the family - she makes me look good!), became the choir director and song leader, and I have had a puppet ministry as well as writing, directing and acting in plays for our church.
After years of being told that my scripts are good, I have decided to make them available for others who would like to use them.
Now I have retired from the postal service, moved from Southern California to Middle Tennessee, and I'm working full time as a playwright and doing custom script writing.
People contact me frequently and ask how I got started with the web site. After writing plays for years, we decided I should try the web site and see what happens. In 2001, I had a friend build my site for $50. I studied other web sites to figure out what I should charge and I got started, At the end of that first year, I had 8 scripts for sale and I made $70. With the cost of the hosting, I wasn't making anything.
During 2002, I had added custom writing and people were asking me to write scripts for them. I also purchased Web Position for getting placed higher on search engines and it seemed to really help. I grossed $3,000 that year.
The site has grown each year after that and with all the custom scripts I've done, I'm always adding more scripts to the site. Because of being able to retire from the Post Office in 2004, and also selling our house in CA and moving to TN, we were able to go full time. In 2007, I was able to match my retirement gross for the year with my web site sales. It has been a slow climb...but I enjoy my work.
