    Choral Readings

    Choral Readings present Biblical and inspirational literature using many voices that
     communicate one message. The contrast of these sounds in alternating lines of
     literature is very captivating and presents scripture in a multi-dimensional, new light.

    Christmas Madrigal Dinner Theater

    Christmas Madrigal Dinner Theater is a trip back in time as it weaves classic
    Christian plays into an evening of holiday feasting and traditional Christmas carols,
    all set in an old English court. Twelve singers dress in 16th century, English
    costumes, with the King’s Jester serving as the “Master of Ceremonies.”

    Dream Skits

    Dream Skits are surrealistic dramas in which the central character finds him or
    herself in a “Twilight Zone” – type situation that simple does not happen in real life,
    but these unreal happenings give real-world insights. The audience gets a firsthand
    look at psychological struggles as they manifest themselves in “odd” happenings.

    Fractured Parables

    Fractured Parables are modern, humorous retelling of the parables of Jesus,
    illustrating ancient truth in a contemporary light. Mimes portray the action as the
    narrator relates the parable with witty twists and unexpected surprises.

    Heart Break Cafe

    Heart Break Cafe literally turns the sermon time into “food for thought,” as the
    pastor presents his sermon in a cafe setting while he has lunch with a friend.
    LaRoue, a comic waitress, provides application to the pastor’s message.

    Metaphor Skits

    Metaphor Skits use concrete items to represent abstract ideas. Physical objects
    (props) help state the theme of the message. These skits use a surrealistic style to
    make their point; such as: a crown worn by a dominant person, or another actor
    falling over when someone speaks harshly to him.

    Monologues

    The actor who presents a Monologue becomes the character in full costume and
    makeup, and then gives the audience a glimpse into the character’s innermost
    thoughts as he or she struggles with life’s most intense relationships and crisis
    points.

    Monologue Skits

    Monologue Skits feature a central character who takes a moment to “think about
    life” and who delivers a monologue while the rest of the skit freezes. The
    audience gets a firsthand look at the psychological struggle that the events of
    the skit creates.

    Realistic Skits

    Realistic Skits are “sketches” of one of life’s revelation moments, in which a person
    struggles to understand or achieve something. These 5-20 minute Christian skits
    typically visit a moment when a decision must be made that will alter the character’s
    future.

    Rewind Skits

    Rewind Skits turn back the clock, as actors reverse the action by replaying the
    scene backwards. Then, they begin it again; this time, they repair bad decisions,
    promote relationships, and undo the mess they found themselves in the first time.

    Skermons

    “Skermons” combine a skit and sermon together into one seamless, dramatic,
    storytelling moment, involving the pastor as a narrator or commentator. At a
    point in the skit, the actors remain frozen on stage. The pastor refers to their
    actions or motives as he presents his sermon, using the actors as illustrations.

    statement. Each of these skits is woven together with a narrative that provides
    insightful spiritual commentary, creating a unified message.

    Story Time Theater

    Story Time Theater features the pantomime/storytelling talents of two mimes, one
    “Story Lady,” and one pianist, who improvises music during the story. The mimes
    act out the events told by the Story Lady as she reads a contemporary parable that
    brings a scriptural concept to life.

    Three In One Skits

    Three In One Skits present three separate stories, told scene-by-scene, alternating
    with each other, yet together they make one point. When actors finish one scene,
    they freeze in position; their last line sets up the next actor’s first line. Each scene
    resumes exactly where it ended, and ends with the same summary statement.
