If you ate up the previous two best-selling volumes of Drama, Skits, & Sketches, you’re gonna really dig this next batch of 54 brand-new, youth group-tested thespian exercises! With the help of the scenarios in Drama, Skits, & Sketches 3, you can discuss important issues with pizzazz . . . present Bible stories with humor . . . and add serious significance to your lessons. Use them any way you’d like--whether as fun, informal, no-prep reader’s theater or as guides for seriously polished performances! SCRIPTURE SKETCHES Designed to supplement your Bible teaching--and add flesh and bones to already powerful Bible stories--your students will love acting out scenarios such as "Community Kitchen," "Recipe for a Quiet Time," and "As the Cookie Crumbles: The Search for Fig-nificance." (And we’ve provided an index that lists scripts according to Bible reference--quite the handy tool as you prepare specific lessons!) CONTEMPORARY SKETCHES These 21st-century skits will hit your kids where they live, using terms, imagery, and situations they’re intimately familiar with. Looking to beef up a topic for the evening--or even add some spice to announcements? Try on "Can O’ Blame," "Backward Lip Sync Contest," and "American Master" for size. TV TAKEOFFS These humorous sketches based on television programs are great for lively discussion starters or as openers at camps and conferences. TIMES OF CRISIS Here are scripts that deal with tough issues and tough times. And while many discuss crisis in a lighthearted manner, their themes will grab your students’ attention and prepare them for some excellent dialog. MONOLOGS Time for one kid in your group to shine! These scripts require little or no costumes or props, but they can be as powerful as an ensemble cast’s three-act play!
