The monologues give a unique perspective on the events of Jesus' crucifixion since they are shown from the eyes of Blacksmith, Carpenter, Stone Mason, Tanner, and Basket Maker. These presentations introduce the congregation to those who crafted the whip, wove the crown of thorns, forged the nails, constructed the cross, and chiseled out the tomb. Pastors can present these monologues themselves in a simple manner or assign them to church members as part of an elaborate performance.

As she recalls highlights of his life, corresponding scenes from the past become visible. The third service is called The Dream. It is the story of two young friends - a believer and a non-believer. One appears in the other's dream as an angel and leads him through the story of Jesus' death and resurrection.

The story of Good Friday and Easter Day is dramatized through the device of "man-on-the-street" interviews. As a radio reporter tries to obtain details of the crucifixion, we hear the viewpoints of many people who witnessed the events, from children to a Roman soldier to a rabbi to some of the disciples. Then we hear radio announcers "on the scene" reporting the astounding good news of the resurrection. With parts for 6 men, 2 women, and 3 children, Were You There? is an excellent way to bring the Passion story to life while involving many members of your congregation.

These dramas provide powerful and imaginative insights into the Lenten season and the biblical characters who both supported and betrayed Jesus in his final days on earth. Characters are carefully based on the scriptural evidence, supplemented with creative re-enactments of what they might have thought and said. The plays may be performed by any size congregation. But with no more than five characters in each scene, these are perfect for use by small churches - those with limited budgets and big ideas. Characters include Mary, John, Andrew, Martha, Lazarus, Judas, Judas' mother, Matthew, Cornelius, and a host of familiar and not-so-familiar biblical personalities.

Excerpt


The Trials of Christ is a readers' theater presentation involving six people. It requires little rehearsal and no memorization. The narrative is biblically based and provides a captivating message for Good Friday or Easter Sunday. This script attempts to demand a stand for truth from its audience, whether that stand be a theological position for Christ or a stand for truth in general. It challenges a congregation to consider the difficulty of taking a position that is totally unpopular or detrimental to the person taking that stand. The message helps direct listeners to live for eternal values.
