Have You Heard the Good News? by John Cosper
Katherine, a teenager, confides to a Christian friend named Holly a
very large secret: Katherine has just found out that she is pregnant. Katherine is in
search of a ray of hope in her life, and Holly sees this as an opportunity to lead
Katherine to Christ. Unfortunately, Holly can't keep a secret, and she tells her best
friend Katherine is pregnant. The best friend lets it slip to the school gossip, and by
the time Katherine arrives at church youth group, she's become the talk of the town. Even
the youth sponsors are gossiping about her! Katherine is crushed at the way her plight has
become everyone's entertainment, and not only loses interest in Christ, but decides to end
her pregnancy early. A short but powerful play that deals bluntly with the dangers of
gossip. (3 males, 6 females) Run time: 45 minutes. Cost: $15
The Pizza Boy by John Cosper
Based loosely on the parable of the four soils. A pizza boy named Wes
encounters four different Christians a year after all of them accepted Christ. The first
seed is Briana, who has grown up with a passive mother and an abusive step-father. She
thought Jesus would be a quick fix to her woes, but quickly fell away when her problems
stayed with her. Second is Nathan, who calls in to tell his story to a radio talk show
host. He tells a tale about how he chickened out in standing up for his faith in school.
Nathan's story includes a dream sequence that becomes a wonderful spoof of traditional
youth musicals, evangelistic "scare" videos, and Michael W. Smith's ubiquitous
"Friends." The third seed is the desire of Wes' heart, Tricia. During his
encounter with Tricia, she realizes how she let her faith slip away as her time schedule
became too busy to pursue God. The fourth seed is Wes' co-worker Shelby, a growing
Christian who witnesses to Briana at the plays end and leads her to give God a second
chance. This is a great play to introduce Christ to unbelievers and to encourage kids who
have followed Christ for a long time. (8 males, 6 females (roles may be double cast) Run
time: 1 hour Cost: $30
The Present by John Cosper
The stories of a young actress and her mother, an artsy film director,
and a troubled teenage couple intermingle in this fun, twisted play centered around the
themes of True Love Waits: abstinence, STD's pregnancy, singleness, secondary virginity,
and the joy of true love in marriage. As the play begins, a broken hearted teen sits in a
diner with an unnamed friend and pours our her regret about a sexual relationship that has
just ended on prom night. The story cuts to the next morning, where the girl's
ex-boyfriend meets the two "Venereal Diseases" (played by actors) that the girl
he just slept is carrying. We flash back in time to the night before, to see a humorous
scene where the ex-boyfriend attempts to romance his new prey. The story then shifts to
the set of a made-for-TV movie, where a Tarrantino like director struggles to create a
"masterwork" about abstinence. We follow one of the actresses home, where her
mother arrives for a visit. The mother is very insistent that her daughter gets married
right away, but the actress explains that she is contented to wait until God brings the
right man into her life. The story cuts back in time to the girl in the first scene,
sitting in the car, breaking up with her ex. We then return to the diner, where the
"Friend" gives the girl a present… a second chance at sexual purity. (7
males, 6 females) Run Time: 1 hour Cost: $20
The Waiting Room by John Cosper
Another shooting spree occurs in an American high school. Seven victims
and their assassin find themselves in a waiting room between life and death. Some react in
disbelief, others in anger, but as they begin to talk, they discover common ground, in
spite of their differences. All of them have fears, all of them struggle with their
identity. They learn not to put the blame on the media or guns, but on themselves. They
discover that the only solution to stopping the spread of violence is to tear down the
walls that divide them and reach out to each other in love. This is a powerful play with a
message of hope. It challenges young people to examine themselves, take off the masks they
wear, break out of their cliques, and take responsibility for each other. (Minimum of 10

And They Danced, by John Steven Paul
a liturgical play for six actors adapted from a story by David H.
Kehret, based on John 11:1-44. And They Danced recounts the well-known events surrounding
Jesus's miraculous raising of Lazarus from the dead. The play begins with family and
friends making preparations for Lazarus's funeral. After the miracle, the people of
Bethany celebrate their friend’s and brother's new life with feasting and dancing. At
the height of the celebration, the scene shifts from first century Palestine to the here
and now. The audience is firmly reminded that none of the celebration could have taken
place unless Lazarus had died. New life cannot burst forth unless something old has died.
But the death the play refers to is not only the death of the body, but also the death,
the burial, and the casting off of old habits, old vices, old relationships, and old
circumstances of all kinds that keep us from being born anew to the life promised us by
the Gospel. "It is from inside the tomb," the playwright tells us, "that we
hear the voice of Jesus: ‘Come forth!’" (3 men, 3 women. Running time: 13
minutes)
The Man Who Was Not Far From The Kingdom Of God by John
Steven Paul

12:28-34) The Man Who Was Not Far From The Kingdom Of God is based on the story in
the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 12, in which a scribe asks Jesus which is the greatest
commandment of the Law. Jesus answers: one must love the Lord God with all one's heart,
soul, mind, and strength; and the second is that one must love one's neighbor as oneself.
In the play, Oscar Holtkamp is a young lawyer at the beginning of his career. One day the
senior members of his law firm dispatch Oscar to hear Jesus preach and to ask him a very
important question. Jesus's answer forces Oscar to reconsider some of the most important
questions in his life, including what it means to love and be loved. (4 men, 3 women.
Running time: 22 minutes)
New Wine, Old Skins by John Steven Paul
(A Liturgical Play for based on Mark 2: 13-22) Which action is more
difficult to make sense of: that Levi being simply called by Jesus would drop everything
and follow him or that Jesus would dine at Levi’s house with him and his fellow tax
collectors and sinners? In this short play about the calling of Levi, it is the Pharisees
who may initially be the most recognizable to us and, like us, in most need of God’s
gracious invitation to the Holy Supper of Communion. (4 men, 1 woman, mixed chorus of up
to 10. Running time 15 minutes.)
What Do You Think? by John Steven Paul
(a play for the chancel based on Matthew 21: 28-32) In this play, a
story-teller narrates Jesus’s parable and three actors play the roles of the father
and the two sons. When the father asks the first of two to go and work in the vineyard the
son says no, but later goes and works. The second son immediately agrees to go to the
vineyard, but later changes his mind and doesn’t go. Now, the story-teller poses
Jesus’s question, "Which one did the will of the father?" Before anyone can
give the correct answer, a member of the audience intrudes upon the action of the play and
challenges the easy assumptions. (3 men; 2 women. Running time: 15 minutes.)

Two Act Comedy with Music 5M; 3F General Public. Christmas Eve, 1948;
Bronxton, New Jersey. Charlie’s song and dance is meant to impress the charming tour
guide, so when she mistakenly assumes he’s an actor in the "Christmas
Follies" at the small town’s vaudeville theatre, he plays the part for all
it’s worth. What he doesn’t know is that her busload of disgruntled Browadway
bound tourists are stranded in the blizzard too. Now, she needs to deliver a show or lose
her business. The 3:00 matinee of the advertised "Christmas Follies" featuring
her new friend Charlie is the perfect answer.Only one problem. Charlie’s no actor,
the "Follies" went bankrupt and the town’s theatre is closed for good.
Luckily for Charlie, one part of his story was true: his uncle really was an old
vaudeville star. Even luckier, his uncle still believes in miracles.

Lots of choreography can be laced into this if you like. I toke the

a clumsy magician Maji and a cast of billions. (live donkey is optional) --one act (about
