Please
Read This FIRST! How To Use This
Site:
TWO
EASY THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- The scripts are free
to read, print out and
use on the Scripts
Page. Click
on the skit title or
banner above each script
description to access the
skit. If you decide to
use one, all you have to
do is tell me.
- Most of the skits have an
accompanying soundtrack
CD. Each script contains
a yellow box near the top
with the Soundtrack
Info in
it, the Shopping Cart
button, as well as an audio
preview of the CD.
This box will tell you if
you do the lines and the
soundtrack supplies the
music and sound effects,
or if it contains the
narration for the
"no-lines-to-learn"
scripts. You will find
the audio preview on each
skit page under this
banner:
Make sure you know what
you are ordering by reading
the Soundtrack Info box
and listening
to the
audio preview.
That's it! The rest is just
gravy... hot, delicious gravy to
enjoy as you take the time to.

Hey

today. Thank you for sending it so
rapidly. I applaud your organizational

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;
and even several films! 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 50
scripts posted, all available on the Scripts Page.
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.

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 $2 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!
NEW: On
all of the skit pages you will find an audio
preview of the soundtrack that goes with that
script! Look for this banner:
And you will find a link to
play the preview!
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!
