"This
is the best page for Christian skits I've
found on the web." -Lea Miller

So why am I
making them available for free? Usually,
something free is either (1.)
worth what you are paying, namely
nothing, or (2.)
there's a catch. Go to this page
to find out, as Paul Harvey says,
"the rest of the story"
concerning the free nature of these
scripts.

Need
Biblical Drama Costumes?
"Fear
my mighty plastic sword!"
If you are
doing any of the scripts here that
require Biblical robes or Roman armor
(like "Jerusalem's
Most Wanted"),
here is a new page with some links to
websites where you can find them. These
links are also helpful for any Biblical
dramas or skits you may be doing already.

Here's
A Fun Idea...
Got a videocam and a PC
video-editing savvy drama team member ? Why not
make a movie of some of these scripts?
Most of them would adapt
themselves easily to being made as a film,
especially those that come with a soundtrack CD
with the music and effects supplied for you to
mix in.
When it's done, show it on
the sanctuary's overhead screen, and wow the
congregation! A fun project that people will want
to watch over and over for years to come. And
they might even clamor for sequels!
Note: please read the Usage Terms on
each script. Videos may not be sold, and each
must have the copyright and authorship info in
the credits.
Listen to a song I
wrote and produced recently, "Duck
and Cover,"
which contrasts the world's solution for
dealing with attacks and disasters,
against the comfort and safety given to
Christians by God's word! Narrated and
sung by Bert the Turtle, and including
actual outtakes from the 1950's Civil
Defense film "Duck and Cover,"
this upbeat song is an atomic
blast-from-the-past of fun!

New blog launched!
Although I have posted some
helpful hints here on this site, I am starting a
"blog proper" over at www.LetsSkitBusy.blogspot.com. I
will be posting regular entries with thoughts
about the art of skits/sketches and drama. There
will also be tips on performing and using the
soundtrack CDs, as well as lots of photos and
videos of churches performing the skits scripts.
Visit it often!
About The Site...
All of the scripts on this
site are created from my background as a radio
copywriter and producer, professional
comedian/performer and recording artist. So I'm
able to bring to the scripts my experience, which
will make your job easier and more exciting. I
hope that you find a lot of scripts that you
like, and that you join the many, many hundreds
of people across America that have done these
sketches for their church. (See the Testimonials Page
for some comments.)
There are presently over 47
scripts posted, all available on the Scripts Page.
The most recently added ones are listed below.
Quality is emphasized over quantity. These are
not your typical "two people stand and talk
a couple of minutes" type of simple skits...
but each one is written to conform to the same
high standards for content, imagination and humor
as the comedy CDs I produce. If it's not good
enough for a CD project, I won't put it here for
you to use in live performances!
Every script has been
performed many times (see the Testimonies Page),
and many of them have in fact been recorded and
produced for the Sheep Laughs Records comedy albums.
All of them are written with a scriptural point
in mind; none are just for laughs. In some the
Biblical truth is spelled out, in others it is
more of a parable.
Many of the scripts have a
CD available for purchase that supplies the sound
effects and musical backgrounds called for in the
scripts. Free
scripts and soundtrack CDs you can order if you
wish... a skit-terrific
idea!
"The proof is
in the pudding," goes the old
saying, but when it comes to the
effectiveness of these scripts, the proof
is in the performance.
The
Testimonials
Page
is overflowing with
visitor email comments about the scripts
they have used from this site, to great
effect. Every day I get emails from
people informing me that they are using a
script. Here is a recent example...
Hello
Brother Fred,
We are
using your hilarious script
"Assignment: Hindrance" to open
up our new "Impact Repertory
Theater" company. Your scripts
are a gift from God and you truly have
been anointed by the Lord in this
area. I searched high and wide for
script sources, before I was led to your
site and I am so glad that I found you.
As a former
professional actor, I must say that I am
quite impressed by the consistent quality
of your work. You have managed to
get the message across in a way that is
not "corny" and reaches the
most sophisticated audience without
shying away from the impact of God's
Word. We plan on using more of your
work as our ministry grows and I will
certainly let you know what and when, as
requested. But I want to again say thank
you, for sharing your gifts with the
world by making your scripts available
online.
Your fruit
is evident, brother, in that many, many
of the lost or backslidden will hear your
words, laugh and unbeknownst to them,
receive the seed of His Word, that will
soon produce a great harvest in their
lives. May God richly bless you and
yours.
-Pastor

About
a third of the scripts here do not have
soundtracks to go with them, since not all are
written to include much music and effects; it
depends on the needs of the script. But, I would
still get emails asking if there was a soundtrack
for those, since they liked the soundtracks for
the others. I always explained that the script
did not have enough music or effects needed to
justify a soundtrack CD like some of the others.
But as time went by, I
realised that many would like to have at least some
kind of music even for
those. They enjoyed using the existing CDs on
what they had done from here before, and didn't
want to do anything "dry" anymore!
(Once you "track," you can't go back!)
So, I decided to put together a supplemental CD
that supplied the musical open and close parts
for the remaining "track-less" scripts,
for people to use if they wanted to add that
"little something extra" to their
performance.
So, on the Soundtracks Page
you will now find available to order the
Supplemental Skit Trax CD that contains the
musical elements for the following scripts:
"The Wrap Group," "The Guy With
the Cardboard Christ," "The Stupid
Dummy's Guide To Higher Self-Esteem,"
"A Canvas of Lies," "A Day To
Remember," "Crazy For Christ,"
"The Sheep's Clothing Store," "The
Gift," "The Man With The Shellfish
Heart," "Assignment: Hindrance,"
"In The Shadow Of Death," and
"Tricks or Treats: Scare vs Share."
Plus, the standard open and close music for the
short "Skit Bits" scripts! All this for
only $25 plus $1.50 shipping. Wow!
You asked for it, you got
it!

Our skit scripts and soundtrack CDs
go together like a hotdog and a bun... why separate them?
Not only does this site offer some
of the most unusual and fun skits anywhere, it also makes
available professionally recorded and digitally mixed
soundtracks to go with them! Find out why so many people
are ordering them, and coming back as repeat customers
for more. Go to the Soundtracks Information page!
Some
of the scripts on our site have been adapted from Prime
Example radio releases, such as "The Great Church
Robbery," "Attack of the Monster Tongue,"
Testimony Show," etc. Much thought has been devoted
to ways of making them performable by live groups, which
offers varying degrees of complexity, and various
soundtrack versions. But here's a new way to do them,
easily and quickly: "Live Radio Style!" Check out
the details on our new "LRS" page here!

I recently did a survey of the
hundreds of emails I have received informing me that a
script is being used. I was pleased to find that many
churches in ALL FIFTY STATES have used them, as well as
over a dozen foreign countries. I'm truly thankful!
Click
here to see a hit counter map of the
world with the location of the last few month's visitors
in red.
Just as an aside, the states that
used a significantly greater number than the others are,
in order, Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina
and Ohio. Medium-use states are Illinois, California,
Georgia, Washington and Florida. Maybe it's just that
Texas covers a larger area, or maybe they have more drama
teams, but it took first place in the number of churches
using scripts from this site. Go, Texas!
