After digital technology created distance between family members living under one roof, the social relationship that used to unite parents, children, grandparents, and grandchildren has declined. Grandmothers no longer tell theirgrandchildren the stories of One Thousand and One Nights and the exciting adventures that used to gather the family, young and old, on cold winter nights. These stories aimed to instill educational and noble moral concepts in our personalities, such as belonging, patriotism, courage, self-confidence, loyalty, tolerance, and the rejection of conflicts and wrongful behaviors that only the wicked commit, such as resentment, hatred, lying, and harming neighbors .With this social and familial decline, school theaterthrough scripts and performanceshas played an important role in extracurricular activities, filling the void left by our grandmothers' stories.
