Below are a sampling of just a few of the comments from those that have read, performed or otherwise enjoyed the scripts. Look over them to get a good idea of what people are saying! Dear Fred, The House of Hope Church of God in Otto, NC will be doing "Mama Knows Best" on May 10, 2008-possibly May 11. I love the skit! My husband and I pastor the House of Hope. In preparing for our Ladies Banquet for Mothers Day, I was searching for a humorous skit with a message to perform for the ladies. I "happened" upon your website while I was searching. It's great! I know we will be using your materials in the future. I also am a writer. I've had four plays published with Eldgride Publishing over the years. Your material is well written and produced. I'm so glad to have found it! -Renee Vinson Fred, The Eastland Baptist of Bryan, Ohio is doing War of the Wills in July of 2008. I'm lovin' the creativity! God has gifted you, thank you for sharing! I am beginning a drama ministry for our church, and finding cost-free or inexpensive, quality skits has been my biggest obstacle. I thank God for your site and your generousity to those who only want to minister to and maybe even change lives in this creative way! God bless you! -Barbara Kuhn Fred, We performed "How Nick Became a Saint" last Dec. 24th and our church loved it. It was so funny! I received the soundtrack so quickly and now we are back to perform Mama's Close Call on our Mother's Day service. Your site has been such a blessing to our ministry. It allows young and old to recieve the message of Jesus Christ and laugh all in the same experience! Thank you, we will be back. God bless you and continue to pour into you as you share with the body of Christ! -Andera
Johnson-Williams Fred, We will be doing "The Guy With The Cardboard Christ" Sunday, April 27th at the Marple Presbyterian Church in Broomall, PA. I was very excited about finding this as I am in charge of the Contemporary Service this coming Sunday. This service is led by lay-people. We use a great deal of multi-media in this service. This skit is perfect! Thank you so much. I hope we can do it justice. -Cindy
Sue Barbezat Fred, We will be doing "Mama's Close Call" at Oral Roberts University sometime in late May. Awesome skit, was very pleased, keep writing please! -Christy Fred, "The Creature in the Closet" skit was used by our youth group for a 'teen ministry service' in our church on 3-23-08, and will also be used in a talent competition for the churches in our state fellowship of churches. I appreciate your skits for their quality presentation style of a meaningful message. When I searched other websites for skits, I was disappointed to find that those with humor rarely had a meaningful message, and those with a message seem to lack much polish or humor. Your skits have both. We used one of your skits before, and received a great response, so we came back again when we were ready for another skit. Thank you so much! -Pastor
Greg Stevens Fred, The Comstock Park Congregational United Church of Christ in Michigan is doing "Mama's Close Call" on Sunday, April 27, 2008. I am the youth director at our church, which is very small -- the youth group ranges in ages from 7th to 12 grade, and anywhere from 6 to 20 can show up (normally about 10). We have also performed "The Creature in the Closet" (Feb 2008) and "Assignment: Hindrance" (Jan 2008). We try to do a monthly skit and I use a variety of resources, but the congregation likes yours the best! Thank you for all you do! -Melinda
Rogers Fred, I am the drama director at my church and ran across your site and was blown away! I was so amazed at your skits and their messages. They were just what I had been looking for; as I had been working with the youth, and now am able to get the older saints involved. The Lord will lead you to where you need to be; as I was looking for something else when I came across your site. I showed "The Great Church Robbery" to my Pastor and he loved it. We will be doing it for the children's message on Sunday, April 6th. I have such a passion for my ministry in drama and know it touches many souls. When my husband saw how excited I was about your scripts, he ordered the whole soundtrack "Ultimate Skit Kit" for me, and was amazed it came in only two days! -Teri
Moore, First Baptist Church Dear Fred, About a year ago I was desperately in need of a skit for my high school youth group to perform in our church, the Plainfield Methodist Church in Plainfield, Wisconsin, a couple of weeks. The skit I had ordered from another site (that had sounded terrific on paper) was dull and boring. It seemed that I had exhausted all the skits out there. I had been doing skits for a couple of years with my group successfully, but now I was running out of material. Anyway, one day I sat down at the computer and did a word search, (seemingly the same word search I had done a million other times) but this time I prayed for God to help me find something that would fit my group and congregation's needs. Well, in a matter of seconds your site pops up (like magic!). Ever since I have been in heaven! We have now performed "The Creature in the Closet," "The Wrap Group," "How To Be Spiritually Fit" and today "The Crate Escape." They have all been a blast to perform. They don't need a lot of practice (which we all like) and there are few props needed. Most of all we love the humor and the soundtracks. Teenagers get the message in a way they can relate to. Way to go Mr. Passmore, you are really doing God's work! Thank you for providing this gift to us all. Many Blessings, -Cathy from Plainfield Dear Fred, The New Life Community Church in Huntingdon Valley, Pa performed "War of the Wills" on 2/27/08. Thank you for helping us out. Each small group in our CBS Bible Study is expected to do something for our opening when eveyone is all together. We were short on ideas when I came across your website. This skit was perfect for our study of 1 Corinthians. We had little time for practice but the script was easy to follow. The skit provided opportunity for even our most timid members to participate. We recieved many compliments afterward and a few complaints that we now raised the bar for subsequent performances. Donna Woywod Fred, The St. James the Greaater Catholic Church in Eau Claire,WI. will be doing "The Wrap Group" on March 12th 2008. I read this and right away knew who would play Leanne's part! It is exciting and perfect for my 8th graders that I teach each Wednesday night. I think the kids will really identify with the message and get it! I just stumbled onto your site and feel that God must have been directing me to it. This is great material and the message is right on the mark! This is a great way to reach kids these days and bring God and faith into their impressionable minds! Thanks a lot Fred, you are a true disciple of the Lord! God Bless and thanks for your ministry!! -Mark Weinfurtner Fred, The Grace Bible Church in Sinking Spring, Ohio performed "How To Be Spiritually Fit" on 2-9-08. We had great results with this skit. People were laughing hysterically. My husband and I had a lot of fun performing the skit, too. Today at church the pastor asked who remembered what the skit's message was, and what the guest speaker's message was; people remembered the message of the skit, more than the message from the guest speaker! Thanks
for your work and sense of humor. The Good Shepherd Christian Academy is doing "The Audition" on Febuary 8, 2009. This is an excellent site! I love the way you have taken modern Christian issues and placed them in a real context that is also fun and entertaining. I look forward to seeing the feedback I get on this sketch! I am always looking around for good sketches to use with students or church youth groups, and you have some excellent material here. Thanks! -Joseph Knapp The Lehigh Valley Grace Brethren Church, Bethlehem, PA will be doing "The Stupid Dummy's Guide to Higher Self-Esteem" on March 1, 2008. I really like your material because the Truth is clear. So often skit material is very weak spiritually, I trust your material and recommend it to others. I like your variety too; we need a good laugh right now, but I love the depth of "Canvas of Lies" and "Assignment: Witness." Thanks
so much! Fred, The Calvary Miracle Centre in the United Kingdom will be doing "Assignment Witness" in March '08. The play is definitely an eye opener, and touches your spirit straight away. It had me at the edge of my seat, very well structured. I think this play would definitely touch the congregation and have them thinking about witnessing to people whenever they get the chance. As Christians we get so many opportunities to witness and never feel it's the right time. Or, when that person has gone, we realise something could have been said. -Michelle Baker Hello Fred, On 10/14//07 we purchased the MP3 Download for 'The Christmas Family' play. We performed this play as a combined group of churches in our small community on Saturday 8th December 2007 as part of our Combined Community Christmas Carols presentation. It went really well! We had a lot of favourable comments from people particularly impressed with the clear gospel message through the play. We interspersed carol singing at various interval through the play presentation. Thank you, as it was a roaring success! Thank you for making such a fanstastic play available for free over the internet and helping us to provide such a beautiful and fun clear gospel message to our community at Christmas. We appreciate your ministry. Regards, Dale
Jones Katherine The Hartford Community Church in Hartford, Ohio performed "The Christmas Family" on December 16, 2007. Thank you! Our youth loved that they didn't have to memorize lines, although it wasn't as easy as they thought! They did a great job and we received many comments from people in our congregation as well as visitors, that this was the best Christmas program they had ever seen. Great job, Mr. Passmore! We're trusting that SOMEONE was/will be saved from seeing this skit! May God continue to bless you, and thanks again for your Bible-based skits!!! -Lori Blaney Dear Fred, Just wanted to let you know that our church presented "The Christmas Family" on December 23, 2007 at 6:00 p.m. at Mankin Assembly of God Church in Trinidad, Texas. It was a great success!!! (Go here for pictures submitted.) Our youth group presented the program with some help from some of the adults. The youth group helped design the scenery and activated all of the lighting as well as the Angels and Heavenly Host which rose out of the baptismal pool during the scene with the shephards!! Compliments were many and praises flowed! Our congregation was delighted at the great salvation message and our pastor said, "this was the best Christmas program I have ever seen!" Our pastor is a former missionary to Africa and is 80 years old, so he has seen many Christmas programs! Thank you again for your wonderful play and we look forward to using some of your other works in the near future. I enjoy the website and use the information alot. God Bless. -Anne
and Al Sherrill Fred, We at the New Life Baptist Church performed "The Christmas Family" this past weekend Dec. 22-23 and I just wanted to let you know that it was wonderful. It was easy to do because of the soundtrack and the message was so awesome. I was told by many that it was the best Christmas drama they had ever seen. I want to thank you for using your God given talent to help others spread the message of salvation. -Dorothy
Miller Merry Christmas, Fred! I just wanted to tell you that we performed "The Christmas Family" at Tabernacle Advent Christian Church in Lenoir, NC on Sunday evening, Dec. 9th. Our audience loved it! There was not a dry eye in the house. The story was wonderful and the fact that it could be heard by everyone present made it even more special. Thank you so much for your great website and your plays. We will definitely use your site again. -Liz Callaway Dear Fred, This is to let you know that the Mt. View Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Dover, Tennessee performed your play entitled "The Christmas Family" last Saturday night, December 15, 2007. I wanted you to know that this production warranted rave reviews by all who attended. We are a very small church and were able to get pretty much everyone, that wanted to be, involved. Friends and relatives came to watch, as always, and were very impressed by the style of the play. Even though we do a Christmas Play every year, we have never done one with a CD narration and the majority of the positive comments were about how different and unique this production was. The cast, of course, was thrilled about not having lines to memorize. The older members (some who are hard of hearing) raved about being able to hear this year! Thank you for this positive message. Sincerely, Dear Fred, When I read your play "The Christmas Family," I felt it was just what our church needed this year. We performed it last night, December 16, 2007, and it was awesome. Our church is small, and we don't have many children. Your play was perfect because it allowed a church to use a lot of people or a few. But the part I loved the most was that it made the message of salvation so clear. Thank you for such a great play, with the CD at such a reasonable price. Sincerely, Fred, Our church, Emmanuel Church in Mountain Home, Arkansas, performed "The Christmas Family" this past Sunday. It was a great success! So many people commented on the uniqueness of the skit. They were especially impressed with the fact that no one had to memorize lines and that they could understand everything that was being said because of the soundtrack. Thank you so much for making your skits available on-line. You are truly a blessing to others. In
Christ, Dear Fred, We just performed "The Christmas Family" today (12-16-02) at the Cornerstone Evan. Free Church in Blue Earth, MN. It was VERY well received. We did something a little different that worked quite well: we videoed the Bethlehem scenes (all in 'real' rural settings) with sheperds and Joseph and Mary and created a DVD with those scenes on it. Then the only scene we had to set on stage was the orphanage scene and those characters involved with those scenes. It worked great. It made it possible for many people to be involved, but involved less work on the day of the presentation. It is always our goal to make our Christmas presentation as evangelical as possible and this skit was very impactful- even emotional. The CD provides a polished, well planned approach, for inexperienced small congregations! We'd like more just like this one! Thank you! -Becky Fred, The Freeburn Church of God at Freeburn,Ky put on "Seasons Beatings: Live From Downtown" tonight, 12-16-07. Everyone loved the skit we performed. It made so many laugh. I love your website, it gives me so many ideas. When I get the money later on, I would like to buy all your CD's. Thank
you, Fred, The Crossroads Gospel Temple in Nova Scotia, Canada put on "The Great Church Robbery" on: December 9th 2007at 6:30 pm. I was asked by my pastor to look for a skit our teen youth could do for our annual Christmas children's concert. Well!!!!!....... The reaction we received from the congregation, the teens doing it and the entire church staff and board was fantastic. They all thought it was the best "teen play" yet and the message even prompted our pastor to include it in his final closing of the evening. Praise God that something like this has been written and made available to be used to continue on as a witnessing tool for Christian groups. Thank you! In
the Spirit of the season and in His name, Fred, The Riverside Community Church in Peterborough, Ontario did "Season's Beatings: Live from Downtown" at the annual Church banquet on December 8, 2007. I was not in charge of the play this year but our seniors group were the carolers in it. I just wanted to let you know it was great! The audience really enjoyed it and of course it had a 'message' at the end which was good. The gals who were in charge chose the perfect people for the characters. They were hilarious! Thanks for another great play. Sincerely, Fred, The Canyon Church of Christ, Anthem, AZ will be doing "The Christmas Family" on Sunday, December 23rd, 2007. We are a new church and do not have a building yet. We are meeting in a school auditorium and have little access to storage space or even advance access to the room for early set-up. So your script fits our needs perfectly, as it requires minimal sets/props. Also, we just recently started our drama ministry and, due to the short rehearsal time between now and Christmas, not having to memorize lines will also be a blessing. Everyone really appreciated your script, and the fact that you worked in all the major points, not only of the nativity story, but of the greater story of salvation, and belonging to a family. We are using the drama on Sunday as an outreach to the community. Thank you so much for this invaluable resource. -Davina White Dear Fred, The Pilgrim's Ministry of Deliverance in Georgetown, Delaware is doing "Season's Beatings" & "Crisis on the Holiday Hotline" this December. I have read both of these scripts and I just LOVE them! They are VERY well written and orchestrated. Our Youth Group is going to really enjoy acting this year! The "Crisis on the Holiday Hotline" will be performed by myself and another Sister in our church. Thank you for having such GREAT skits. May the Lord, God Almighty, continue to bless you as you continue to abide in Him. -Denise Fred, The Alturas United Methodist Church is doing the script "The Great Church Robbery" on December 9, 2007. Thank you so much for your site. I needed an interesting, short, easy, meaningful skit to perform for our church's Christmas pledge dinner, and I needed it NOW. I never thought I would find one that had all the above. I am excited about this one and can't wait to get it all together, using the CD as well. Thank you for all your hard work and your generosity in offering the scripts free. You were a God-send ! -Candace
Mercer, Fred, The Harps Crossing Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Georgia will be performing your script " The Crate Escape" at 7:00 pm Sunday night, December 2, 2007. The writing is excellent. The humor and depth of this script just blew me away and I'm so excited to perform it this Sunday. Thank you for allowing us to use them. -Tim Richardson Fred, I love these scripts!!! They have such a great message and the parents of these teens love the witnessing opportunity!!! I use them for our radio drama classes in our Christian homeschool support group coop. What a great tool to help these teens learn to proclaim God's truths in a powerful way. We have a talent night to show what the teens are learning. They bring parents, grandparents,and friends;some who might not know Jesus as their own personal Saviour. This is a great way to reach them!!! Thank you again for these great scripts. God will richly bless you!!! Teresa Bono Dear Fred, The Teen Learning Center, Charlotte, NC did "Season's Beatings-Live from Downtown" on November 15, 2007. My Drama class at a homeschool co-op performed it in front of 35-45 families. It was awesome. The kids did a great job and the audience loved it. We made some minor adjustments to the parts, since we had more girls than boys in the class. The Stressed Man became the Stressed Woman and the Indignant Man became the Indignant Woman. Except for those changes the skit was used in its original format. Thanks so much for your website. It was invaluable to me as I was instructing these young thespians in the art of drama. M. Goulet Fred, The Covenant Glen United Methodist Church in Missouri City, Texas will be performing your play, "How Nick Became A Saint," on December 9, 2007 at 5:00pm. The play is incredible. Thank you so much for providing it. The comedic element with a sound biblical message is exactly what we were seeking. You may be excited to know that the part of Mr. Boyle (we had to change it to Ms. Boyle) will be played by a Disney Channel actress, Desiree McKinney, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2436224/ . Thank you so much for helping us. K. McKinney Fred, The Calvary Chapel Aurora, Aurora CO will be performing your script "Testimony Show." Your scripts are by far the best Christian skits I have ever read! They are so funny AND present the TRUE message of the gospel in such a way that anyone who watches one will remember the message far beyond that one night. I have read them all multiple times and have printed most of them out-ready for the next occasion to use one. It's really a blessing not to have to pay for them; Jesus has given you such talent and it's nice when you are just trying to give back to the body of Christ with those talents without charging an arm and a leg. I have plans to use the majority of these skits in this year alone! I will let you know when I do. Keep em coming. Can't wait to meet you in heaven! Thanks again. Audra Moraga Fred, The Claridon Christian Fellowship Church will be performing your script, "Tricks or Treats: Scare vs Share" on Friday, October 26, 2007. This skit is perfect for our annual Harvest Festival. Sure beats hiring expensive entertainment as we have in the past. It's very funny and cleverly written. I like the fact that your scripts address Halloween head-on by using it to bring a postive message. Thank you for putting your work out there and making it free! God
Bless! Fred, I just wanted to thankyou for taking the time to create and maintain such a wonderful FREE site for church dramas! We have just begun a drama team at the Community Christian Reformed Church and want to start by using free dramas and a few small purchases here and there to get our feet wet. Your skits truly have the material and substance that go along with our messages without being "corny" or "dry". Thanks
again! May God bless you! Fred, The Martin Luther Christian School is doing "The Crate Escape." Clever, Fred! I haven't had a chance to read all of your scripts, but the ones I've finished I've found to be really original and with a definite point. There's too much "Jesus Junk" out there -- glad to say, you're stuff can't be counted among it. -Angie
Brower Fred, This October the SonRise Baptist Church will be doing "Live From the Battlefield." I love your skits. We have done a couple and when I print them out, I don't even have to read them to weed out the good and bad like I do with some other sites. They are all good! Keep up the good work. I also encourage others to use the sound effects CDs with the skits. They are wonderful. -Marsha
Edens, Fred, The Old Bethel Baptist Church will be performing "How To Be Spiritually Fit" on September 21, 2007. I looked all over the internet for a skit to perform at our annual fall fellowship but couldn't find anything until I found your website! Thank you so much for all the great ideas! You have a great talent and it's good to see you sharing it with others and using it to honor the Lord! I know personally that skits and drama are a great way to witness. May he continue to bless you! -Deziree
Wolthuis Brother Fred, I did "The Trials of Rev. Milton Blumquist" on July 28 during a 5th Sunday praise gathering. Everyone LOVED this skit! They are STILL talking about it, and it's been three days. I have been led to organize a drama team at our church. What a great skit to use not only to give the message of having patience, but to also get our youth excited about doing drama altogether. You are truly blessed my friend, I can't wait to introduce more of your skits into our church. -Rickey Corley 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
Curtis Davenport Hi, Fred! Crossroads Ministries at Woodward Avenue Church of God, Athens, Tennessee, will be doing your script "The Wrap Group." I was so excited to find this skit. I love it! At Crossroads Ministries we are using the recovery-based program, "Celebrate Recovery" by John Baker. We are a growing ministry and I am enthusiastic about using this skit to reinforce the fact that recovery through Jesus Christ is the only true recovery found for life's addictions, hang-ups and habits. This skit gently allows people to see the importance of Christ in their recovery and how their addictions have control of them without, as you stated, "hitting them over the head with it". We may also use this skit in our jail ministry as well. Thank you for such a great work. The Lord has blessed you with a unique gift and I know he will bless those who hear and see your skits performed as well. May God bless and keep you and your ministry. Thank you again. -Laura Cruze Hello, Fred! The Uplands Reach Conference Center will be performing "Assignment: Witness!" on June 19 and 23, 2007. I am a drama instructor for URCC--a Christian ministry in NC. When I first read the script, I was moved. After seeing it performed, I am in awe. This is such a powerful skit that will speak volumes to teens and adults concerning being a witness for Jesus. I have purchased the soundtrak as well and this has enhanced the skit all the more. Thank you for helping to make my job a little easier. -Deana
DeBord Dear Fred, The Summersett Baptist Church Pittsville VA performed "Mama's Close Call" on May 19, 2007. The skit was very funny and very easy to perform. The soundtrack was quite helpful to make it seem real. It was a hit for sure. My family and I performed it for a banqet that we have every year for People without Partners.There was mixed age group attending and I think was enjoyed by all. It was so much fun to do. Thanks
and God Bless. Dear Fred, The Sanctuary of Savannah in Savannah, GA performed your script, "Mama's Close Call" on Sunday, May 13. The skit was an absolute delight! Our ladies performed it perfectly and we all loved it! Can't wait to do more of your skits! Thanks so much for this ministry-- God certainly put you in our lives to assist with our ministry! -Letha Hammond Dear Fred, Thank you for this wonderful website, you have a wonderful ministry. I'm so excited about doing some of these skits and I know it will be a blessing. We are having a Mother's Day camp and I'm co-ordinating a youth programme to treat them and also deliver a message. I really appreciate the use of your skits and I hope we can do them justice according to the purpose intended. I bet you didn't expect your skits to travel this far across the world, but God's voice will be heard throughout the nations. May God shower you with his choicest blessings and I will be sure to let you know how our evening went. Yours
in Christ, Fred, I
just want to first thank you so so much for the skit,
"The Wrap Group" (and the website)!! So one day I was at work and I began to pray, and started asking God to help me find something funny but also have a good point, and he did, he blessed me with your skit! It was so awesome, the people in my church loved it so much, they laughed and laughed, even the people I had help me laughed. We had a blast practicing it, we just couldn't stop laughing! We even had special guest that Sunday and they asked for your website and a copy of the skit, how awesome?! I just wanted to write and tell you how much I love this website! Also I will be using more of your skits! I will keep you in my prayers. Thank
you and may God bless you!! Lots of laughs-thank you- thank you-thank you!!! I used Mama's Close Call, Attack of the Monster Tongue, Testimony Show (at a churchLadies meeting in November) New Years Eve at the Bad Habit Club," (at our New Years Eve Service) Battle of the Sexes (at our Valentine Banquet) "Pastors Barbeque" was used at another meeting and every single one of them was a HUGE HIT! I know the actors make the skits really work but without you providing the Scripts and Soundtracks they wouldn't know what to say or act. Buying the soundtracks was worth every dime. I also like that you don’t need a lot of supplies or scenery to make them work. You have truly been a blessing to me and my church. Thank you very much!!!! Your ministry is so needed. KEEP ON KEEPING ON! -Pam May Fred, We used "The Wrap Group" for our first Friday night YOUTH NIGHT on Feb. 16th, 2007. It was great. The adults performed the skit for the kids and I think the adults had as much fun doing it as the kids did watching it. This is an excellent site and I'm hoping to use more of your skits. Keep them coming!!! Shari
Alexander, Dear Fred, On Feb 25, 2007, the East Winthrop Baptist Church did your script "The Creature in the Closet." The skit was a smashing success! People really got into the humor of it, especially when Officer Barks threw Ron up against the wall to keep him away from the closet. ...a lot of the free stuff out there isn't terribly high quality, so thank you very much for making your skits available! People are starting to ask when we'll do another. -Samantha Fred, My friends and I love your skits. This is the second year we are using one of them. Last year we used one in a competition called Talents For Christ, and we went all the way to the national competition and we won 2nd place.We decide to use another skit of yours this year, ("How to be Spiritually Fit") and hopefully we will win 1st place! We just wanted to say thank you for putting your material on the internet, and for free. It is such a blessing.You have a great talent and God will bless you for using it for His glory. -Jenny
Murray Hi Fred, I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I performed 'Battle of the Sexes, Round One" last night. It was a huge success. We are a very small church made up of mostly "baby-boomers". The production was the start of our Valentine's party. Folks were laughing and talking about the show all evening. The sound effects were a super addition. We didn't have an operator for the sound so I came up with a rather unique way to run it. I put together "sound scapes" as slides on Power Point. I used a rf remote concealed in my costume to "fire" each effect. I had mixed the sound effect with the jungle sounds on each slide (thank the Lord for Audacity, wish I had this back in the 70's when I did radio production). It worked great. I wish you continued success with your ministry. I feel sure we will be doing more. Thanks again for your help and your wonderful script. Jimmy
and Donna Laird, Dear Fred, Our youth group performed "Assignment: Witness!" this past Sunday in the setting of a school bus stop. As their director, I received countless words of thanks, which I extend to you on behalf of our congregation. The Truth that filled this script was astounding, and the characters were perfect. I believe God used it for His honor and glory, even before it was performed as it gave me an opportunity to witness to my hairdresser, simply because she asked me what it was about! Thank-you so VERY much for offering your stories at no charge. God will bless you richly for it, I am sure. In
His Name, Fred, As the new Marriage Ministry Leaders for our church, we just had our first event, "Return to Eden" a Valentine's Banquet on Feb. 10th. "Battle of the Sexes: Round 1" was the finale-and a tremendous success! A friend made amazing costumes for us. We purchased an 8 by 12 foot rainforest mural for the backdrop, filled the stage with trees, found an 8' foot realistic looking cloth snake...bought your soundtrack and WENT FOR IT! (For those of you who do this play, the soundtrack CD adds an amazing dimension to the production. BUY IT!!!!) People are calling and e-mailiing us, still laughing, rhapsodizing about the production and saying that it was the most fun they'd had in years. What a way to kick off the term. Our Creative Arts Director howled "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PLAY??!". By the way, when is there going to be a Battle of the Sexes: Round 2? (We'll be your first customers!) Thank you so much for using your gifts to draw others to Christ. Wow! That's ministry. With
you, in His Service, Fred, Our church did your script "The Christmas Family" on Christmas Eve. It was an awesome play. People in the church and community are still raving about it. Thank you for doing and sharing your wonderful plays. God Bless You!!!! Our church is small and this play worked so well with the soundtracl CD and no memorization. Please do some more the same way!! -Fannie
Robley Hi Fred, As promised, I am reporting back to you on the outcome of our play of “The Christmas Family”. It was a big hit with the congregation. Here are some comments… It was the best play our church has ever done. It was great that adults and children could participate in the same play. An elderly person commented that she especially enjoyed the fact that she could hear and understand the entire play. Often times when small children have verbal parts she is unable to hear what they are saying because they are speaking too softly. She was able to actually follow along the entire play (due to the narration). The message was the TRUE meaning of Christmas. Often times the nativity scene is portrayed but what does it really mean to us. This really applied why Jesus came to earth. It brought tears to my eyes (2 people shared that). I was able to get volunteers much more easily due to the fact they there were no lines to memorize! Thank you so much for providing this for us to use. I would highly recommend this play to anyone who is interested. It contains a wonderful message brought in a new way that can be applied to anyone’s life. Keep up the good work! Sandy with Orrville Mennonite Church Fred, On December 18, 2006 the First Baptist Church of Roff, Oklahoma put on your play "The Christmas Family." The production was a hit. My kids worked very hard on this, and I had the right amount of help from youth and adults. Comments from the church were "It was the best play I have ever seen," and "It focused on the Christmas Story, and the Real meaning of Christmas instead of how cute the kids were." I can't tell you enough about the success of this economical well done production. The set painting pages were of great use too. I painted a back drop that added to the stage a lot. We used a split stage, and a spot light and that was about all of the extras we needed. It was really great. I plan to use your ideas as much as possible, even though our class is actually called Children's Choir. Keep up the good writing! -DeJo
Petersen, Dear Mr. Passmore, Thank you so much for the blessing you have bestowed on countless people through the gift you have! Our Drama class at Tri-City Christian Academy put on a performance combining "Battle of the Sexes, Season's Beatings, New Year's Eve at the Bad Habit Club and Mama's Close Call". It was a production lasting one hour and fifteen minutes (with a 10 minute intermission), but the effects will last a lifetime! The audience laughed throughout the whole production, giving our brand new actors confidence they had never felt before! As a new teacher in this area, I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am for your scripts. You met all the requirements I faced, and made them funny to boot! I received a standing ovation for the production, but all the credit must go to you. What an amazing night we will never forget. PLEASE keep writing and touching so many lives - you have been truly gifted! In addition, our family performed "The Great Church Robbery" at Dover Baptist Church the week before Christmas. My family acted out the parts while our Sunday school narrated the entire poem. The church members were very touched by the story. We have decided to attempt a production with all of the Sunday school classes in the spring. We will let you know how it goes! Hopefully I will be forwarding the amazing photos soon - thank you again for sharing your gifts and talents with us! -Tracey Day Greetings Fred, The iMPACT Church Family Christmas Celebration featuring SEASON'S BEATINGS: Live from Downtown, was an incredible success! The emails are still pouring in saying how much everyone enjoyed the play. Our church was packed with family and friends - standing room only. I was excited and a little nervous but after 7 weeks of rehearsals there was nothing left to do but send up a final prayer for the actors and sit back to enjoy the play. The audience was ready for this - big time! We had advertised for an entire month and talked up the play as much as possible. The audience ROARED with laughter! And a few folks gave us a standing ovation! We had a time of fellowship afterwards with homemade Christmas cookies and the play was the talk of the town! Every actor was told numerous times about how great a job they did. I can't thank you enough for writing such a funny script! The Christian message within the play was a perfect reminder of what Christmas is really all about. Thanks again. God
bless you, and all those you love, in this, the warmest
of seasons. (Note from Fred: Now, THIS is how to do a play! Seven weeks of rehearsals.... wow. I have some tell me they rehearse them a couple of times and then put them on, usually with script in hand. This makes me proud to have been a part of their work by supplying the script and soundtrack. But it's the work of the play director and actors that makes it really come to life. Congratulations to you and your cast, Deb!) Dear Fred, Thank you for helping small churches like ours to be able to obtain wonderful skit material free. Just three weeks before Christmas our leadership decide to try something different for our Christmas Eve service and your skit "The Christmas Family " was found to be the answer. The fact that there were no lines to memorize took a lot of pressure off the participants. We had quite a few family vistors that Sunday and many commented it was the best Christmas play they had ever seen! Thank you again for providing well written material that gives honor and glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Blessings
from Vineyard Community Church Fred, I really think that this is a great site... it is unique in that it is so easy to navigate and the skits are so well put together. We have a small youth group that are really just learning how to serve the Lord, and I think that this skit ("New Year's Eve at the Bad Habit Club") will provide the means necessary to get our point across concerning commitment and life changing decisions. Thank you for all of your work and I look forward to visiting the site again in the future. -Jennifer
Markel, We will be doing "The Crate Escape" sometime in March. I am really looking forward to presenting this script to my drama students! Last semester they performed "The Stupid Dummy's Guide to Higher Self-Esteem" and loved it! Not only that, but the whole school was cracking up! Thank you so much for your wonderful skits! Please continue to do this; it works wonders for not only acting, but portraying Jesus' messages as well. -Casey
Locklear Dear Fred, On January 26th, we will be doing your scripts "Testimony Show" & "Stupid Dummy's Guide to Higher Self Esteem." Thank you so much! These are wonderful! My students love them. This the first set of scripts, both Christian and non-Christian, that my students love! They actually think it is funny and useful! God Bless you in this ministry. -Heather
Bair Hi Fred, Just wanted to send you a note and tell you how great our Christmas program using "The Christmas Family" turned out. We are a small town Southern Baptist church and I found your website and was able to put this thing together using our youth group kids, our young children and some adults. It was great. I have never heard so many compliments. One thing that was true for each person I spoke with was they said you could just feel God at work. I gave Him the credit. I believe He lead me to your site that day and I will be back. We are thinking of doing something for Easter. Take Care and Have A Merry Christmas! Katie
Mosley, Fred, The Hinestown Baptist Church put on your script The Christmas Family on December 17, 2006. I want to let you know, this was an excellent skit and our church decided at the very last minute to put on a presentation. Our church is very small with 32 people. But, with the CD and a few volunteers we had a great time. There wasn't a dry eye in the place when we we finished. (Daniel really came to life and made Christmas special to all of us). Thanks so much! God
Bless and Merry Christmas. -Hinestown Church: Fred, We did your "Season's Beatings" skit yesterday during our regular church service. It was a HUGE success!! We had numerous compliments - also about how well the soundtrack enhanced the performance. Thanks so much!! We will be sure to recommend your stuff to as many people as we can. And we will look to your site first for any additional skits we do in the future! Which we plan to... Have a great holiday! -Peggy
Simmons, Fred, I've looked in christian bookstores and on the internet and have found some pretty good dramas but this one, "The Christmas Family" is the most Christ-centered Christmas play that I've seen. We will be using the Christmas Family soundtrack. Tomorrow we'll be going through our last dress rehersal and doing the play Sunday evening, the 17th. We're praying that the Lord will bless both actors and audience. I'll e-mail you afterwards and let you know how it went. Thanks! David
Haven, Fred, The Maranatha Assembly of God in Wapakoneta, OH will be performing "Crisis on the Holiday Helpline" on December 10, 2006. When the gentleman who will be playing Bill told me of this skit, I was at first reserved. Then I read it... absolutely hilarious. I laughed at first, then teared up at the end. Good job writing something so serious yet making it enjoyable at the same time. May God continue to bless you. -Pastor Joel Chambers Fred, The Onondaga Hill Presbyterian Church will be performing "Season's Beatings" and "The Great Church Robbery" on Dec. 10, 2006. We have two small groups performing on our youth Sunday. They love these two pieces and I couldn't agree with them more. They are very funny, very heartwarming and well thought out. Thank you so much for providing a place for those of us who have not been granted the gift of humor to find meaningful and insightful skits to use with our kids. Thanks again! -Krystal
Scott, Fred, I can't tell you how relieved our teens are to find skits that are FUN to do! Blessings! Fred, The First United Methodist Church in Benton, Illinois will be performing "New Year's Eve at the Bad Habit Club" on Dec 31st. Our pastor will be out of the pulpit on New Year's Eve! We have used one of your skits before, and it was a rip-roaring success! This will be perfect! Keep up the good work. -Marianne
Kaak, Hi Fred, I wanted to let you know that your 'mini-plays' are THE reason I started up the 'IMPACT PLAYERS' at our church. Your writing is brilliant and funny and always has such a strong Christian message. You are an inspiration. We will be doing SEASON'S BEATINGS: LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN on Dec. 17th. I've cast it and we are already into rehearsals. Unfortunely we can't time the thing yet becasue we have to stop and LAUGH! Seasons Beatings is such a blast. I've got the soundtrack but we aren't working with it just yet. Next week, we'll begin with that. For now, I gotta say THANKS and ask for any help on pulling out the best in the characters and set ideas, or suggestions you may have for this fledgling director. Sincerely,
Deb Cordrey Greetings! I wanted you to know that I will be ordering your ultimate skit package for our youth group that we are just starting at church. We really look forward to it. I have read many of the skits on your site and find them informative, wonderfully humorous and definately life lessons that need to be learned. You have a fantastic talent and I look forward to working with your material. In His Service, Shella Taylor Fred, Wonderful skits! We are starting a drama group with our Harpursville Baptist Church teens (in NY) on Wednesday night and these are perfect. There is a nice range in length and number of performers. I appreciate the lessons behind each one that are shared in a "non-corny" way! Thanks so much! Fred, The
Mercersburg Mennonite Church will be performing
"Season's Beatings" on December 10th. I am a
youth leader at our small church with three young
children of my own to tend to. This site has been
so helpful in that I don't have much time to browse
through skit books, but knew from past experience (we
used "How Nick Became a Saint" 2 years ago) how
easy it would be to get online and immediately find a
great up-to-date script that the teens at our church
would enjoy performing. They are easy enough for
the amateur actor yet can sound professional with a
little effort. I did not order the soundtrack the
last time, but did this time, because I want to be able
to continue to use this site in the future. I
realize that this is your livelihood and hope you
continue to prosper at this ministry, and would exhort
anyone using this site to contribute financially by
ordering the soundtracks. Thank you for keeping it
affordable for small churches. I will recommend you
to anyone I have the opportunity to. God bless you. Fred, The Faith Baptist Church, Henderson, Tennessee will be performing "Season's Beatings: Live From Downtown!" on the 17th of December. I just found this site for the first time today (10/29/06). I have been a Youth Pastor at Faith for 5 years now, and have done the Christmas performance every year. After reading through some of the skits, my first thought was, "why didn't I find this earlier?" You seem to have a true gift and I will definitely be back for future projects. Plus, now that I see you have skits for a wide variety of subjects, God has used you to broaden our youth Ministry. Thank you and May God continue to Bless you. Sincerely, Fred, Johnson Corners Christian Academy will be doing "Season's Beatings" this December. I would have to say, that after many years doing drama, and after browsing through many websites, I love your website the best! Your skits are top notch and the fact that they are free and you can order soundtracks, what a dream come true. God bless you, have a wonderful holiday season! Michele
Voegele, Fred, I just wanted you to know that we performed "the Pastor's BarBQ" skit for Pastor Appreciation Day on Sept. 24th. We used the speaking parts on the CD to help. We had a blast... the pastor and his wife were laughing hysterically at this skit. No one could stop laughing. It was great. Thank you so much... God Bless You! Jennifer
Ezell Fred, On Sept. 10, 2006, our church performed your script "Assignment: Witness" using our kids 12-14. It was fantastic! Our church raved about how good it was. Thanks for your help and may God bless you as you bless others with your ministry. -Faye
Lord Fred, The Zionsville Presbyterian Church of Zionsville, IN will be performing "Attack of the Monster Tongue" on October 13, 2006 for the Women's Great Banquet Skit. We've had a great time rehearsing and it has been so easy to sync to the CD music and sound effects. We can't wait for our guests to see it. What a great web resource! Fred, I love your material. We just put together a youth drama team and I can't wait to start handing this stuff out to the teens. I know they'll love performing it as much as I love reading it... Thank you for the wonderful resource. -Beth Fred, Twenty-three students from K-10th grade will be performing "Jerusalem's Most Wanted" for their parents at our annual dinner theater at Anthony Christian Academy in Ft. Myers, FL, on October 20th, 2006. We purchased the soundtrack and it is GREAT! We are still in the rehersal stage but are excited about doing it. Thank you so much for providing such a powerful Christian message in your skits/plays. -Cyndi Anthony Fred, The Thomas Terrace Baptist Church, Concord, Va. Ladies Retreat in Natural Bridge, Va. will be doing "The Sheep's Clothing Store" on Sat. Oct. 8th, 2006. I can't thank you enough for having this website. You have been a real help to me. I am the Drama/Activities Director for "Woman of Grace" Ladies Ministry at my church, and it can sometimes be very difficult to find new material for the events that we have, and I have gotten lots of great ideas from you. This will be the 2nd script I have used, and I know I will be back again !!! With Respect, Dala Freitas Fred, Just wanted to let you know how well the skit, ASSIGNMENT: HINDERANCE, worked out. It was a huge success, the kids had a great time doing it and the sanctuary was full of laughter. The story behind the laughter really drives the point home. Thank you so much for what you do and we'll definitely be using your site, with music, in the very near future. Thanks again! Sincerely, Hi Fred! We had our Annual Easter Program this past Saturday and the teen boys and girl class, which is taught by myself and another teacher, performed your skit "The Crate Escape". It was great!! The audience really enjoy it and everyone stated the soundtrack was a great touch. I thank you for allowing the Lord to used you this way. Your ministry has and continue to be a blessing to so many and you can add Bethany to the number. Robin
Travers, Fred, The youth of our church hosted a Valentine's dinner complete with a variety show. The youth performed "Battle of the Sexes, Round One" --the response from the audience was incredible! Several people had tears running down their faces before it was over. Even though I read through the script several times during rehearsal, my sides ached the day after the performance from laughing so hard. We will be performing "Mama's Close Call" for our mother/daughter banquet. You are truly gifted and we all appreciate your talent! Liz
Claiborne, Fred, On 18, 2005, the Niagara Christian Life Assembly used "Season's Beatings: Live From Downtown," and it was a HUGE success! This skit has a good message on the true meaning of Christmas and I'm sure most people saw themselves in at least one - if not several - of the characters portrayed. We had most of the actors play two roles - with a quick costume change. We used your CD with our performance. The response to this skit was very positive. Most of the characters played their parts 'over the top' - exagerating in a very humorous way - and I'm sure the point got across. Thank you for your hard work! Blessings on your ministry! Pam
Wells Fred, We presented your play, “How Nick Became a Saint” on Christmas Day in our church. Everyone loved it including all the youth that had a part in it. I had an elder in the church tell me it was the best play that had ever been performed in church there. Thank you, thank you for allowing us to share your play with others. It was a true blessing to many people, myself included. Thanks again and God Bless! Cindy
Winchester Fred, I am the Children's Pastor at Family Praise Center and the age of my kids is 6-12 years old. We did "How Nick Became A Saint" on Sunday, Dec. 18th. I know your site says that these plays are not written specifically for children, but after changing a few lines to be more appropriate for their age, the play seemed to be made for them. The kids loved the practices and the performance was awesome! I received calls the night I went home and the next morning from people that wanted to tell me how much they enjoyed the performance. We used the soundtrack CD, and it does add to the effect of the play. Thanks for a great website! -Pastor
Phyllis Spradling, Fred, We did "The Great Church Robbery" last year, the audience loved it, a lot!!! This was very different from the boring skits that are usually done. I really loved it, because I was looking for something to do at the last minute and it didn't take a million rehearsals to get it right. I have to come up with something for the teenagers to do every Christmas and Easter. Mind you, their eagerness and talent is somewhat limited. Thank You, thank you, thank you for doing what you do. You have saved my life. And will continue to, as long as I do this each year. Tameka
Gaddis, Hello, Fred! Every time we play "The Great Church Robbery" the phones light up! It has been the most requested Christmas Song each year! Thanks and God Bless.... Rich
Bruce Fred, We will be performing "Cowboy Carl and Pal the Wonderdog" on Dec. 2nd. I have used some of your other skits in the past at my church. "Mamma's Close Call" (for a Mother Daughter Banquet). Since I am a man, it was even funnier when I was a 60 year-old woman. I never heard so much laughter from one skit in my life. My wife and I also performed "Battle of the Sexes: Round One." That is one awesome skit! I love your skits and thank you so much for good clean Christian scripts. I tell everyone about your web site. You're awsome! Thanks so much! -Kevin
Sprague Fred, I have been working with youth drama for several years. Finding really good material is usually difficult and time consuming. I found your materials a couple of months ago on the internet and I was very impressed with the content of your scripts. My youth pastor was happy to order your CDs for me and I have been very pleased. I hope we will be able to perform several of your scripts this school year. I really like the way you use the Word in your scripts; I like that you get right to the spiritual point with no apology. I praise the Lord for the talent He has given you! I hope you will continue to share future work. Using your materials have given me some great "moments" to share truths of God's Word with my students. Susan
Murphy Fred, We will be doing "Season's Beatings: Live from Downtown" on December 18, 2005. Thank you so much for allowing us to use your skit free of charge! And the idea of having the CD with all the sound effects is awesome! I have worked in youth ministry for some time and have bought many different skit books, none of which can be compared with the great skits you have on this site! I am so excited to perform this, our youth love humor and this is "right down their alley." They are all excited to perform this also. Thanks and may God bless you for providing quality, up to date, with a great message skits free of charge! Melody
Veyon Fred, Our student drama group Faith in Action will be presenting "Live from Downtown" as part of Sunday Morning Worship on Dec. 18th. Love the high quality of the script. Was laughing out loud as I read it. Our students will really be able to make these characters come to life. We're looking forward to making our congregation and special guests laugh, and hopefully reflect about the true Joy of Christmas. Thank you for your ministry. -Sara
Benjamin, Dear Fred, We made our presentation of "The Crate Escape" last night, Oct. 30, 2005. It was a wonderful experience. This type of presentation was a first for our church. The Holy Spirit was there to use our presentation to win at least one to Christ and also to bring some much needed laughter to a congregation that has been struggling with the resignation of its pastor and subsequent turmoil associated with finding a replacement. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with others. The CD was excellent and worth every penny. I hope that we will be able to make similar presentations in the future. Your efforts ARE making a difference in the lives of others!! Once again, thanks! -Christine
Games, Fred, I
have been on the internet several times, looking for some
kind of Christian entertainment to use at our Ladies
Ministry Christmas party. I was captivated by the skits
listed on your website. I have read many of them and did
not find one that I didn't like. Thank you so much for
free use of these skits. I am quite sure I will be
returning to your site for more entertainment ideas. May
God continue to use you to further His kingdom. Donna
Smith Fred- Thank you so much for sharing your skit scripts with all of us. It has been such a blessing! Our church loved the "Attack of the Monster Tongue" and are asking for more. To put in bluntly, you make me look good:) Your skits are truly funny. I don't have to worry about hearing the quiet cricket sound at the end of the skit! Sincere thanks! Andrea
Kronenberger, Hello Fred, This is the most awesome drama ministry website EVER!!! I just listened to the "The Tell-Tale Talent" from your website and I am so much more inspired. I must confirm that these creative tools work marvelously for both Auditory and Visual learners. Trust me, I'm both! Thanks
again, and I will be purchasing many more soundtracks as
I look over the other scripts you provide. Thanks for the
great service that definitely enhances the Kingdom of
God. Fred, Once again, your site has supplied just what we needed!! I am looking forward to seeing what God will do through the witness of "The Red Tie Club" to the community on Oct. 31st. The message comes across so clearly! We may even hand out "red ties" with supporting scripture verses after the skit. Although we are a fairly small church, we draw many people in each year with our "Light Night" alternative to Halloween, and the "drama theater" is one of the many attractions. Thank you! -Robin
Tyhurst, A note from Fred: A young man named Bryant M. has made professional acting his life's work, and apparently he was inspired to go into that field by performing one of the scripts here, "The Great Church Robbery." A quote says: "Bryant has been acting practically his whole life. When he was younger, he performed a play at his church called "The Great Church Robbery." This experience caused him to discover how much he loved acting and how much fun it was." Click here to read all about it! The Hotchkiss Church of God in Hotchkiss, WV will be performing "How Nick Became A Saint" on Dec. 23, 2005. I am very blessed to have found your site. Your scripts are well written. Your blend of today's vernacular and heartfelt hypothetical situations have made my job easy. I presented the script to my youth class this past Sunday and they loved it. Thank you for saving me from the dejected expressions my teenagers have each time they are presented with a sophomoric Christian play. Also, I have read a plethora of mainstream plays and you have not sacrificed quality for content. Fred, The First Southern Baptist Church in Sheridan, Arkansas will be performing "Season's Beatings: Live From Downtown" the Sunday before Christmas. I think your site is awesome. This will be the first time we will be using your script with the soundtrack. We have gone over some of the lines in class and the kids can't stop laughing themselves. These children come from homes where laughter is in short supply, so I'm grateful to have found your site. Thank you. -Vicki Tooke Fred, I want to say that I loved your skits. --Good
humor I wrote and published three plays for use in worship some thirty years ago -- so I know the challenges of a good skit. Thank you for your effort, your humor, your commitment to the ministry to media. God bless you for your contributions to God's Kingdom! -David Snapper Fred, We
did your script "The Sheep's Clothing Store,"
on May 15, 2005. Absolutely awesome comments on this
script! Everyone wanted to know where the script
came from. Very well received! Carrie
Wilken Fred, We did your "Mama's Close Call"skit for a "Celebration of Women" Banquet we had on May 7, 2005. We purchased the soundtrack CD, not really thinking that it would make much difference, but were we ever wrong! It added so much humor to the skit; especially the can-can music! It was hilarious! We also performed the skit on Sunday, May 8, for the entire church; to give you an idea of it's success--our Pastor, Randy Damron, had a hard time getting himself together to preach afterward! The whole congregation was literally in tears, from laughing! We will definitely be using more of your stuff!! Thanks, Fred, We performed "The Audition" on May 1st, 2005, at our Awana Awards Banquet at the Cornerstone Community Church in Auburn, CA. Thank you so much for putting your site together and offering scripts with a powerful message. "The Audition" was incredible. I am no actor, yet even I was able to prepare and deliver the lines because most lines had cues from other actors. Very easy to perform! Thanks again and God bless you. -Bill
Harben Fred, We just performed your "Mama's Close Call" skit for our ladies mother/daughter banquet at the New Life Christian Center in Lancaster, OH. We had 140 women attend. It met with great success and was hysterical. I wrote and directed drama for years, and I've written many humorous skits. Yours are superb! We know God had a sense of humor because he created people like you and me!! At 65 I've slowed down and now prefer to just perform in skits. I'm thrilled with your quality and that you share them for free. God bless you for your creativity and the greatest of all, for using it for our Lord Jesus Christ! -Arlene Speakman Fred, I just wanted to let you know that my board of directors performed the skit, "Live From the Battlefield" at our volunteer appreciation banquet in February. The men did a fantastic job! Our volunteers, who counsel with women in unplanned pregnancies, were simply blessed by the skit and the heart of the men to act it! (None are actors...maybe characters...but not actors!) The volunteers work hard in helping women consider positive alternatives to abortion and they really deserve a night that blesses them. I personally want to thank you for these skits and the CD. It just made everything so perfect. I appreciate your willingness to offer these skits free of charge! You blessed this little non-profit very much!! Sincerely, Hi again, Fred! On March 7-10 my students went to a Christian School State Convention. They placed second in the state competition with your "Testimony Show" script. It was so easy to do with the CD that went with it, we just practiced and practiced until we fit the lines in with the music. I really appreciate you having a website where I can get such great skits! -Lisa Speer Fred, My church teen group, of the Gardiner Church of the Nazarene in Maine, has used two of your scripts, "The Sheep's Clothing Store" and "Crisis on the Holiday Helpline." We used "The Sheep's Clothing Store" for youth drama competition and actually won the local event and will perform it at a much larger competition this month. Part of the reason we think the teens won the local competition was because the play had some valuable lessons for today's world. Many skits that we saw were funny, but lacked the spiritual values that your skits provide. You also provided great and easy to follow details on props, characters, setting, and costumes. We performed your "Crisis on the Holiday Helpline" skit at Christmas. It was great because the parts could just be read and since we had little time to prepare for a skit it was the perfect option for us. We even purchased the CD to go with the script and used the sound effects and music. The church loved it! It had some humor mixed with spiritual truths and the evangelical message. We hope to use more of your plays in the future. Thanks for making it so easy to work with you and your scripts. God Bless, Sharon Cook Note from Fred: I found this bit of conversation below on a message board at this home school debate site: http://homeschooldebate.com I don't know how long that link will work, but here is part of the messages I saw about scripts they have used in competitions from ChristianSkitScripts.com. Interesting stuff! I don't know what all the abbreviations are for, except "HI" stands for "Humorous Interpretation." By going there you might be able to tell more. -Fred ...an
author that I've heard four/five pieces from that are
really incredibly cute is Fred Passmore. If
you can find one of his pieces that isn't being done...
then it's a great idea... make sure you follow the
directions before taking the script though. |
