A Shining Star - Comedy

Using the theater as a metaphor for life, a Director and her assistant hold auditions for a "super star": someone who can be a light in the darkness and a shining example of God's love. But finding this "star" proves harder than it seems:  Starla thinks she shines because of the way she looks and that she's a good example because people will be drawn to her beauty; Francis is all "business" and no emotion and thinks she can win people over with her "smarts";  Madge believes in the "fire and brimstone" approach by scaring people into believing in God; and Hazel has such low self-esteem and a poor understanding of the Bible that it's hard to see her as any kind of star.  All hope of finding a star seems lost until a conversation with the janitor ensues, and we're reminded that a true star can shine anywhere. 

Themes: Reaching others for God; Witnessing; Evangelism; Shining like the stars in the heavens; Being an example for others; Being a light in the darkness

A Special Bouquet - Comedy/Drama

When teenager Jake wants to give flowers to an important teacher in his life, he seeks the help of a florist, a woman named May. However, May and her niece, Liz, become horrified when they learn Jake wants his special bouquet to be made of dandelions. In an outrage, Liz cries out, "Are you completely insane? You don't give dandelions as a gift! Anybody in their right mind knows you give a woman roses!"  Throughout the course of the conversation Liz, along with the help of May,  tries to prove the splendor of the rose but Jake will have none of it, claiming that the dandelion is the most misunderstood flower there is.  "While plants like roses take and take (sucking large amounts of nutrients from the soil, leaving little for any others), dandelions "give back " by providing food, medicines and colorful dyes." But it really comes down to the end when Jake reveals that he sees himself as a dandelion. "No one ever really sees them.  People walk by them and over them, and step on them every single day.  But no one ever stops to smell a dandelion. No one admires a dandelion or stares dreamily at a dandelion.  No one ever gives dandelions as a gift. You said so yourself, people look at dandelions as a weed."  He then proclaims that all he's ever wanted is for someone to really see him, and for him, that person was his teacher, who then introduced him to God--the one who sees all.

Told with humor and warmth, this skit is for anyone who has ever felt like or known a "dandelion." The message is simple: "Don't let the outside fool you.  You are stronger and more beautiful than you know."

Old Testament Reunion - Comedy

For instance, Noah builds yachts for the rich and famous; Ruth got her doctorate (Dr. Ruth) and specializes in marriage enrichment; Samson created his own line of hair care products, and it was rumored that Daniel joined the circus to become a lion tamer.  But some characters were missing in action, like Ezekiel who was on a dig in the middle east to excavate dry bones, and Jonah who was on a deep-sea fishing adventure. When someone questions the intelligence of Gideon and how God was ever able to use someone like him, Solomon begins to ponder the idea that it was miraculous God was able to use any of them.  According to Solomon, "None of us were perfect.  We all made mistakes and we all sinned." The point is, he continues, "God still had a plan for us. He had a vision and a purpose for each of us, imperfections, sin and all." It's then the old gang realizes that even though they made mistakes, God loved them (and still does) and saw something worthy in all of them.

Appearances are made by: Adam, Eve, Isaac, Noah, Samson, Ruth, Solomon, Deborah, Gideon, and Daniel.

Pretty Woman at the Well - Comedy

This fun, light-hearted melodrama tells the story of the Woman at the Well in a completely new and different way, while at the same time keeping the original theme of acceptance, eternal salvation and love. We first meet our "pretty Woman" as she's drawing water from the well under the hot rays of the midday sun.  Under the ever watchful eye of  the handsome and suave Devil, the Woman is reminded of her "shady" past.  Just as she dreams of her Prince Charming, Jesus appears, although he confesses, "Technically I'm a king - King of Kings."  And so begins what the woman thinks is a "love triangle" - the Prince of Darkness vs. the King of Kings.  However, when Jesus offers her a drink of living water, the woman has no idea what he's referring to. She thinks he's there to be her future husband.  When Jesus reveals he is the Messiah, the Woman is embarrassed and is ready to leave, until Jesus tells her that what he has to offer "is better than any husband."  While the Devil doesn't give up easily, he is no match for the great I Am, and in the end, the Devil's plans are "foiled again!"

Dr. Chase, a hot shot young doctor, implies that her colleague, Dr. Nora, may be too old to continue to practice medicine. But when the Administrator finds fault with some recent case files, the finger seems to be pointed in Dr. Chase's direction.  It seems Dr. Chase was so eager to cure the symptoms, she often overlooked the underlying cause of the symptoms. For instance, what should have been a simple prescription for Mother-in-Law-itis (when the mother-in-law overstays her welcome) turned into a trip to a heart specialist, a bone doctor and enrollment in an anger management program.  It seems "book smarts" isn't the same as life experience, and sometimes you have to look past the symptoms in order to find the cure.  Therfore, the Administrator assigns Dr. Nora to a be a medical mentor for Dr. Chase to help teach her what the medical books can't.  However, both doctors realize they have a lot to learn when a friend of Dr. Nora's shows up for an exam and is diagnosed with a terminal illness called Mask disease: hiding behind a mask so others won't find out about your past or who you really are. In the end, both doctors wonder why it took them so long to find a cure for the disease and speculate on whether or not it's too late to help Dr. Nora's friend.
