Old Testament Reunion-Drama Skit

Old Testament Reunion-Drama Skit

Themes: Old Testament characters; God has a plan for each of us; God can use us even with our flaws
Categories: Topical, Bible Characters 
Summary:

Many of the Old Testament characters have gathered together to reminisce about old times, as well as to discover where they are now in life. 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.

Excerpt (Sample)

Setting: An Old Testament High School Reunion. The stage could contain a table with a punch bowl and some refreshments for effect but is completely optional. A banner should be hanging that reads “Welcome Old Testament Students.” Each character that enters will have a large name tag with their name written on it in letters big enough that the audience can read them.

As the scene opens, Adam and Eve enter part of the way on stage.

Adam:

I don’t know about this Eve.  Are you sure we have to be here?

Eve:

Adam, this is our class reunion.  All of our friends from the Old Testament are going to be here.  They’re going to want to see you.

Adam:

Why? I turned out to be nothing but a huge disappointment.

Eve:

You’re not a disappointment. 

Adam:

Sure I am.  You and I started out good but then we blew it. We had it all once.  If you hadn’t…

Eve:

(getting angry) Are we really gonna have this conversation again?  I’ve said I’m sorry about a million times.  Let it go already!

Adam:

I can’t help it.  I’m just so ashamed! How will we ever face these people?

Eve:

Everybody makes mistakes Adam but don’t forget, we’ve done some good things too. You have lots to be proud of.   

Adam:

Like what?

Eve:

For starters, you were the first man God ever created. Then He created me, a beautiful specimen, and together, we helped populate the entire Earth.  If it wasn’t for us, nobody else would have existed. Who else has a resume like that?

Adam:

(smiling) No one.

Eve:

That’s right.  And who did God put in charge of naming all the animals on the earth?

Adam:

(smiling) Me. 

Eve:

Okay, so I don’t want to hear anymore about what a huge disappointment you are.  Now, let’s hold our heads high and greet our classmates.

They walk a little further on stage and look around to find the place empty.

Adam:

We’re the first ones to arrive.

Eve:

Again.

Adam:

Wait, here come some more people.  Is that Noah?

Eve:

I think so.

Noah enters.

 

 

Noah:

Adam! (eagerly shakes hands with Adam) I thought that was you. What’s it been, a few thousand years?

Adam:

More or less. 

Noah:

Hi Eve.  You two look great.  You guys haven’t changed a bit! 

Eve:

Thanks.  You look good too.

Adam:

Although, I think I see more gray hairs than before!

Noah:

My doctor says it’s from stress:  spending 40 days and 40 nights on a boat loaded with animals,  not knowing if you’re ever gonna see dry land again will do that to you. 

Eve:

I was referring to the tan. 

Noah:

It was all that time on the water. There wasn’t much else to do but sunbathe. (to Adam) I see you’re the first to arrive again, huh?

Adam:

Habit.

Eve:

(noticing Samson arriving) Oh my gosh, it’s him!

Adam:

Him, who?

Eve:

Samson! (dreamily) What a stud!

Adam:

You know I can hear you, right?

Eve:

(ignoring him) Here he comes!

Eve squeals in delight, as she hurries to meet Samson. Eve hugs Samson, and as the two quietly “talk” for a moment, Eve keeps touching Samson’s arm. Adam and Noah watch from afar.

Adam:

He’s not that good looking, is he?

Noah:

(to Adam) It’s the hair. Woman love a good head of hair.

Adam:

Then why does Eve keep touching his biceps?

Noah:

Dude, the guy killed a lion with his bare hands. That’s pretty impressive!

Samson and Eve walk towards Adam and Noah

Samson:

(holding his hand out to shake with Noah) Hey man, how’s it going?

Noah:

Pretty good.  And yourself?

Eve:

Samson was just telling me that he opened up a new line of hair care products, and it’s been very successful.

Samson:

I don’t like to brag but…

Adam:

(under his breath) Of course you do!

Samson:

Sorry, what did you say?

Adam:

I said, “Good for you!”

Noah:

Hair care products, huh? I would have thought you’d open your own gym or sell exercise equipment or something.

Samson:

No man, it’s all about the hair.   (he shakes his hair seductively) Women love to run their fingers through a thick head of long hair. 

Eve:

(sighs heavily) You can say that again!

Samson:

That is, all the women except my grandmother.  She hated my long hair!

Eve:

You’re kidding!

Samson:

Nope. She thought it was a sign of teenage rebellion.  She was always nagging me to cut it short.  She’d say, (speaks in a high-pitched tone) “Samson, when are you gonna cut that hair? You look like a girl!”  

Adam:

(under his breath) He does look like a girl.

Noah:

Well, if your grandma could see all the dough you’re rakin’ in now, I bet she wouldn’t mind. 

Samson:

You know it, bro! (he and Noah “high-five” each other)

Adam:

(pointing) Hey, look what the cat dragged in!

Daniel:

(enters) Lions, and tigers and bears…oh my!

Noah, Adam, Samson, & Eve:

(happily, in unison) Daniel!

Samson:

I didn’t expect to see you here tonight.  I heard you ran off and joined the circus. 

Noah:

Lion taming, wasn’t it?

Daniel:

I can’t believe you guys remember that!  Yeah, that was always the dream but I guess God had other plans.  I’m an advisor to the king now.

Solomon:

(enters with Deborah on his arm) Did someone say king

Noah, Samson, Adam, and Daniel:

(in unison, begin to playfully bow up and down) We’re not worthy!  We’re not worthy!
