Why Saga?
The idea for the name Saga comes from the nordic heroic tales of adventure. As a daughter of immigrants, a first generation Norwegian-American, these roots run deep -- for generations. The play closest to my heart is my tapestry of norse mythology: EINAR'S RAGNAROK
​
Why Saga Scripts ?
I wanted a "home" for my eclectic collection of plays for children, science songs, mysteries, short scripts etc etc. Hey, Eldridge and other publishing houses were started by playwrights trying to get their work "out there". While I'd only recently started submitting my work to established publishing houses, I took inspiration from Dolly Parton who held onto the rights to her own work. I wanted to keep my short plays for large casts IN THE LIMELIGHT together and so... it was the logical next step. (Volume 2 and 3 of IN THE LIMELIGHT will be coming as well to Amazon and Teachers Pay Teachers and eventually directly through this website) My recently reappropriated mystery play scripts from www.host-party.com (where you can still find my private party games) will soon be available here, too.
​
What's the Music part about?
I've a few songs on Youtube: translations of Norwegian/Norse songs and some science songs -- notably a song for the solar eclipse THE DAY THE DAY BECAME THE NIGHT. I have plans to record royalty free vocals through FilmMusic.io --More news on this soon...
