Save over $200.00 by ordering this downloadable series. Flame Retardant Pajamas (And Other Symptoms of Menopause) My wife is the inspiration of this comedy sketch about menopause…which at times isn’t all that funny…at least not to her anyway. I can understand that. Men don’t go through menopause…at least not the way women do, so I guess we can’t totally identify with them as they are enduring that part of life change. So as husbands we faithfully walk with them down the path of life hand in hand…well not hand and hand…it’s too hot. Calling your wife “hot” takes on a new meaning. Flame Retardant Pajamas is a comedy just waiting for the next banquet, comedy night, dinner theater, dessert drama or woman’s event. Cast: M/F Husband and Wife Running time 6-7 minutes Hilarious!! Want a sample...just let us know at www.howitiller@aol.com
The Twinkling His Magnificent Smallness
Psalm 147:3-4 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. “The Twinkling”, is a monologue that will inspire the audience to grow past conventional thinking. It will remind the believer that God does not work according to our calendar and his timing is always right. The seeker finds refuge in this script as it proclaims to them that even though that our magnificent God spoke the stars into existence and calls them all by name, that God is still small enough to be magnificent in his healing of the broken and wounded heart. The Twinkling is a wonderful sermon set-up. Cast: M/F Can be biblical or modern day Running time: 7 minutes Forsaken Rome's Power Unleashed, An Apostle's Faith Unshakable
Forgotten at Mamertine
F o r s a k e nROME’S POWER UNLEASHED, AN APOSTLE’S FAITH UNSHAKABLE
(The Forgotten Apostle in the Mamertine Prison)
In “Forsaken”, the story unfolds the actual forsaking of Paul by the saints of Asia but also addresses the ridicule that the Roman government placed on the Christian identity. “Forsaken” comes alive in the final days of Paul’s ministry in the cell of Mamertine, which historically became known as the, “House of Darkness”. Paul is in prison, Nero is Caesar of Rome, but that did not stop the gospel of Jesus Christ from reaching into Nero's own household and all of Rome. You’ll find the variety of characters historically interesting. Of course your actors will have to bring the fascinating characters to life. Some of the characters are merciless, some are mysterious, some are whimsical and others are untouchable...or are they? Your drama team is going to be challenged by the script, but your church is going to be inspired and grateful when they realize the sacrifices made by the chosen Apostle for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Cast for 4 M or 13 M. The script was originally created for 4 actors to play 13 characters and that arrangement works very well.
Released 2011 “The Motions” (Comedy with a Message for Youth) This sketch deals with the robotic like actions the youth develop when they’re just going through the motions. It's amazing how we can get in such a rut without even realizing it until it's too late. Teens will have a great time doing this one, but adults could do it, too. Feel free to let your cast ad-lib to a point. Each actor may have their own version of what a robot looks like and how they move. Individuality can be good, but not to the point where it takes away from the story. The theme of the sketch is “Love.” Option: The sketch segues into the song, “The Motions” by Matthew West. We have the song illustrated on DVD. The song on the DVD is a mix of song interpretation and sign. It’s on the CODE West 2010 DVD click here and scroll down. Cast: Mixed Great message for youth service Running time: Will depend on how many characters you want and the distance they have to walk like a robot. 10 minutes with the song
Will You Love Me When You’re Smart? (Love to the Nth Degree) Howi C. Tiller A middle-aged couple is discussing the wife going back to school. She wants to get her degree culinary arts. Well, things start to boil and they discover that one degree makes a huge with what’s cooking on the stove. They also discover the degree of love in their heart for one another starts and ends with their love for God. “Will You Love Me When You’re Smart?”, is a light hearted look into what’s very important in the relationships of married couples. The comedic lines unfold naturally and blend to reveal what can’t be missing in everyone’s marriage…and that’s love to the Nth degree. Perfect for banquets and marriage retreats Cast: 1 M / 1F Husband and Wife Setting: A room in the house Running time: 7 – 8 minutes
Aisle 33 Seat F? (In Search of Jesus at the Big Box Store) Howi C. Tiller Many people are searching for something new in their life…a new start or new beginning. We all know that starts with Jesus. He is the author of second chances. What would it be like if someone’s search for Jesus is similar to our experience when trying to find something at a big box store? You know the kind of stores I’m talking about, where there are a million aisles and you’re clueless on even where to start your search for the part you need. Sometimes the sales person points you off in a general direction or spouts off an aisle number that is clear on the other side of the store…which is some times wrong when you get there. It can be frustrating. At times you’re afraid to ask for help because the sales person doesn’t look like they want to be bothered. So, you take off on your own and spend way too much time finding something that should have only taken a few minutes. “Aisle 33 Seat F?”, is that comical look and yet eye opening sketch that may cause us to think about our guests and hospitality in a different way. “Aisle 33 Seat F?”, is designed to get the church to think about the process of how a guest perceives your church and the first impression they have as they enter the church doors. In this story a seeker enters the big box store hoping to find Jesus. After having conversation with four different zany sales people, which all lead him all over the store, he comes full circle to find out he has to login, but can't because he doesn't have an ID nor the password. Your church will love the humor and the message in, "Aisle 33 Seat F?" Cast: 5 mixed The sketch can be performed by 5 people or by 2 people. Running time: About 9-10 minutes
Also, a new "How to", Interpretive sign DVD is available at the Instruction page called "Say So", by Israel Houghton.
