Description

Dealing with our sin and what Jesus has done in His grace and love for us.
This is a great drama to present to non-believers, new believers, and seasoned believers. Great for luncheons, youth groups, men’s or women’s ministries.
Ends with a touching song.

Sample of script:

opens with actor on stage, looking confused

Where am I? What is this room?

(shake head)

Am I dreaming or am I awake? (pinch self) Ouch!

I have never seen so many index card files.

Maybe it’s a library?

(Look both ways then up and down)

These files go forever. This is crazy! Where is everybody?

(Shrug shoulders. Walk to wall of files, mime touching the files and reading)

Boys I have Liked?

That’s a weird name for a file.

(if male actor change to: Girls I have liked?)

(open and mime flipping through cards)

Mel Truaz, Johnny Miller, Jack Tuton! (Quickly shut drawer)

 (For Male actor use girl’s names. Can use real names of guys/girls you know)

Oh no! Oh no! I know what this is.

This room is a crude catalog system for my life.

Every moment, every action, big and small – this is my life in detail. More detail then my memory could ever recall.

Do I dare? (touch files, look over shoulder to see if anyone is watching)

No I can’t. I don’t want to remember! (turn away)

But I wonder… (touching files again)

….Comfort I have given…

(mime opening drawer and looking at cards.)

I remember this time, it felt good.

Oh my, I forgot about this – wow!  I didn’t realize… good I am glad I took the time. (close drawer)

Friends…

(Open another drawer)

(flip through and smile)

yep.. I remember her and him – oh my goodness I forgot about her.

(close drawer)

Friends I have betrayed… (hesitate, but open)

(look sad, angry) Too painful! ( close drawer)

Books I’ve read:

The summer of Love, Romance at Mountain Spring, Whispers in the night…hey at least I can read.
