Dear Fred,

My friends and I performed The Wrap Group yesterday, March 14, 2009 for our youth group fundraiser. We had a wonderful response. People were laughing and having a good time. Later, people were commenting on the skit and that it was the highlight of the evening. We the actors enjoyed practicing the skit and enjoyed seeing the reaction of the audience. It was a great success. I highly recommend these skits. They are fantastic!

Dear Fred,

The High School Sunday School class of the Plainfield  Methodist Church, Plainfield, Wisconsin put on "New Year's Eve at the Bad Habit Club" on January 18,2009.

My high school Sunday school class performed the skit in church last Sunday and had a blast.  The congregation thought it was great.  We introduced the skit first with a little summary as we always do so the congregation has an idea of what the skit is about ahead of time.  Then after the skit we always end with a culminating prayer to sum up the meaning of the skit.

It never fails (even though the credits are always listed in the bulletin and we also give you credit after reading the summary) that at least one person comes up and asks me where I get the wonderful skits from.  Of course I'm always happy to share.  Many people say they have someone they know who directs youth from another church who would just love to know about the site.

Thank you again for sharing your talent; you really are spreading the word of God in a spectacular way.  I can't help thinking that God has to be smiling when he sees these skits performed!

Fred,

The church youth group of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Yadkinville, NC performed your play "The Christmas Family" on December 21, 2008.

The youth really enjoyed it and were happy not to have to memorize lines. Several people came up to us afterwards with tears in their eyes saying it was the best play ever.  The youth group are asking to do another skit soon.

-Thank you!
-Rose Staley


Dear Fred,

The Bethel Baptist Church of Taylorville, IL will be doing "Mama Knows Best" on January 11, 2009.

After using the "Assignment: Witness!" skit two years ago for Youth Sunday, I knew right where to come to look for another skit to perform for our upcoming Youth Sunday service.  It's a Sunday service put on totally by our youth group.  They had so much fun with the last skit and it was well received by the congregation.  At first I thought it would just be a fun thing for them to do, but I was really impressed when, several months later, they were still talking about it and I even overheard one of the girls sharing the message of the skit to a non-church going friend during our lock-in later that year.  Thanks so much for providing these great skits and the soundtracks to go with them.  The soundtracks really make all the difference and the congregation was very impressed with the quality of the overall performance.

-Nichole Spain


Fred,

The Wilsall Community Church in Wilsall, MT put on your skit "The Great Church Robbery" on Dec. 21, 2008.

I narrated to the sound track and my husband acted.  It turned out great!!!  The music that accompanied the script was wonderful and added so much to the performance. Many positive comments and appreciation.

I've been asked to start a drama ministry at our church and am looking forward to using more of your material. Thank you for providing it. Your service was great.  I also appreciated being able to download the script and get started practicing.

-Glenda Clark


The Monee Free Methodist Church in Monee, IL will be performing your skit "The Wrap Group" on January 4, 2009.

This is perfect for us to use to help us promote our new Celebrate Recovery program!  The Celebrate Recovery Team is doing the skit on Sunday morning to draw attention to our weekly CR meetings.  God is so good!  Thank you so much for sharing this skit. The skit is so funny yet completely gives glory to the Lord.  It is perfect!

God bless you! 
-Cheri Coakley


The First Baptist Church in Janesville, WI presented your play "The Christmas Family" on Dec. 11, 2008.

Many people said it was the best Christmas program they've ever seen.  Some had tears in their eyes.  It was easy to hear for those who have hearing loss.  Thanks much for a job well done.

-Jerry Amstutz


Fred,

We will be presenting your script "The Creature in the Closet" at the Allen Chapel Free Baptist Church and the State and National Convention for Free Will Baptists in May 2009  & July 2009.

I have been to convention the past few years and have seen the groups that have won using your skits.  Your skits are creative and have a strong message. God Bless you!

-Marietta Candler


Dear Fred,

The Shepherd's Temple Church of God in Christ in Chowchilla, Ca. will be doing "The Sheep's Clothing Store" on 12/23/08.

We used "Spiritually Fit" for our Youth Day Program in November.  Our pastor and wife really enjoyed it, and the message behind it.  The funny thing was, it tied in with the Sunday School Lesson and the Pastor's sermon.

We are rehearsing "The Sheep's Clothing Store" for our Adult Christmas play.  Everyone is excited to be performing it.  We've also come up with ideas for props for the store.  The message in this skit is very timely.  I just wanted to let you know that we used a couple of your scripts, and also to commend you on how Biblically based they are.  You did not leave out God's Word in an effort to make a funny or "palatable" play. No one has to guess at what the play had to do with the Bible.  Thank You!  Thank You! Thank You! 

God Bless and Merry Christmas!
-Cheanie O'Masters


Dear Fred,

The Sharon Baptist Church in Iron Station, NC did "The Christmas Family" on December 17, 2008.

We have a limited amount of kids so this play was perfect for us! It was nice not having any lines to memorize. We had numerous comments saying that this was the best play our church has had! Hope to see more for next year.

Thanks!
-Cindy Brittain


Good evening Fred,

I wanted to say thank you for “The Christmas Family” which we purchased earlier in the year and performed last Sunday.  In fact we performed it two Sunday evenings in a row as people wanted to see it again.  It went really well.

I’ve attached some photos of the event – I think they’re self explanatory…  The set was backdrops positioned in what passes as the “sanctuary” (though we never use it as such these days…) – good job the pastor is good at art! (To see the pictures, go to the Submissions Page.)

So, once again, thank you.  Even though it was an American voice and many of the people we have at church are over 50 we had nothing but compliments about the evening, the sound, the acting and the message.  We had a number of “unchurched” people in – which was the whole point of it.  Oh, and we went through mince pies like hot cakes (silly expression really, and we didn’t even heat the mince pies!).

Thank you and God Bless,

Fred-

After hours of practice, and many, many pizzas...we finally put on the skit "Live From Downtown" this past Sunday.  Here's a sampling of the response:   "That was the best Christmas program I have ever seen--anywhere--in my life!" "That has to be the best Christmas program in town!" "I would watch that all over again!" ...and that was just the grownups.

The reaction that meant the most to me was from my SS class--they put the talents God gave them to good use, revealing to our church what they were capable of achieving, and experiencing what its like when God blesses actions made by willing, cheerful hearts.  They aren't going to let me wait until next Christmas to put on another show!   Thank you, again, for this terrific material!

-Lisa Swanson


Fred,

The Midway Church of God In Christ will be doing "Live from Downtown" on December 21, 2008.

I absolutely LOVE this skit! I am only 22 years old and I usually find most skits to be a tad bit corny and just not "hippy" enough for teenagers and young adults to enjoy but with my first glance at Live from Downtown I absolutely fell in love! May God continue to bless you for this great work you're doing for him and thank you so much for putting this information out there for free to the public!

Fred,

The Christ Wesleyan Church, Milton, PA (www.cwcmilton.org) will be presenting "The Great Church Robbery" on Sunday, December 7, 2008.

What a wonderfully marvelous script! I was asked to provide entertainment for my church's Best Year's (our older members) Christmas dinner party and after searching and searching, your script for "The Great Church Robbery" was hands-down the absolute best and I can't wait to perform it for them. I had my Mom read it and she got goose bumps!

Thanks for sharing your writing ability with us and for making your scripts available to us. By the way...the soundtracks are incredible and a necessary complement to the performance. Thanks bunches!

-Jeff Bitler


Fred,

The First Baptist Church in Clinton, Iowa will be doing "The Great Church Robbery" this Dec 2008.

I absolutely love your scripts! I am the sole adult leader for a preteen group (grades 3 - 6) and they got tired of the traditional "boring" Christmas gifts (ornaments, magnets, etc.) for their parents, so we are starting a Christmas Dinner Theatre - with the help of your awesome site!!!  I am so impressed with your material, scripts and soundtracks, that I am requesting the church purchase your Ultimate Skit Kit.  Thanks so much for all your hard work and your dedication to the Christian Faith!!!

God Bless!
-Tamara Godat


Dear Fred,

The Wolf Creek Baptist Church in Kiln, Mississippi is doing "Season's Beatings:  Live From Downtown!" this year for Christmas.

As I was reading this skit I was laughing out loud...the best humor is that to which you can relate.  I have either met someone or have someone in my family who resembles one of the characters but don't tell anyone I said that. =)   I really appreciate your clean, Christian humor and so does the youth.  Teens and adults are going to be the characters but the carolers are going to be our 6-11 year olds and they are really looking forward to it.  This is going to be the first time that our church performs a skit of this nature--meaning content/humor.  I expect a lot of laughs but at the same time a great message is being given.  Thank you!! For using your talent to glorify God.

-Cassandra


Bro. Fred,

The Christian Life Church of Baltimore performed "Live from the Battlefield" on 10/19/08.

I am the Youth Church Coordinator of my local church.  This was an absolutely wonderful skit!  The 2008 theme for our youth church, targeting ages 11-14, has been "Armed and Dangerous".  We have had lessons all year relating to spiritual warfare.  I was looking online for an appropriate skit to really drive home the theme, when I came across your website.

Talk about being led by the Holy Spirit! I listened to the audio version right from the site and knew that it would be perfect.  The youth pastor and youth ministry director gave their approval without any lengthy discussions.

I ordered and received the associated soundtrack without any complications.  The mp3 download was helpful as well.  Our older youth ages 16-17 performed the skit for the younger ones. (The rehearsals were hilarious!)  We had a rap session immediately following the skit.  It was absolutely amazing how these young people remembered all that was said and done, and they were able to make the appropriate associations to real life experiences.  It was a true success!!

Thank you for your hard work and commitment to providing quality resources for youth leaders like myself who really want to go the extra mile but can't seem to find enough hours in the day!  May God continue to richly bless you.

Hey Fred,
 
I just received the Ultimate Skit Kit in the mail today. Thank you for sending it so rapidly.  I applaud your organizational skills!  This is such a professional package and quite impressive!
 
Also, thank you for providing such wonderful skits with sound effects that smaller churches like ourselves can afford with limited funds. 
 
May our Heavenly Father richly bless your endeavors, your life, and your relationships.
 
Sincerely,
 
Danny and Martha Vergunst


Hi, Fred!

The Bridge Bible Fellowship, Reseda, CA is performing The Sheep's Clothing Store, Crazy for Christ, A Day to Remember, The Guy with the  Cardboard Christ, New Year's Eve at the Bad Habit Club, Assignment Witness and Mama's Close Call on June 20 and 21, 2008.

We have a Homeschool Drama class.  Instead of one main play, we opted to perform several short skits for our annual production.  We are VERY excited as this has become an outreach and your scripts are exceptional.  The sound CDs are working well.

Please keep us in prayer for our performances.  We will send pictures when we get them. 

Thank you again for your service to our Lord!

Blessings,
-Kate Kearns
Heb. 6:10


Fred,

We will be performing "Crazy for Christ" at the Zoar UCC in Evansville, IN on June 22, 2008.

I thought the script was great -- very funny! Our youth will be performing this skit as the "Message" in their youth service on Sunday. They liked the script -- and especially getting to use the giant needle at the end.

I have read over several of your scripts, and you do a fantastic job! I've got my eye on the Christmas one... so I'll be coming back for sure! :-)

Thanks for your generosity in providing these excellent scripts at no cost. It's great for a church on a tight budget. And even the soundtracks are affordable, so that's great too! God bless you and this wonderful ministry you have!

-Tracy Wingo


Fred,

We will be doing "The Wrap Group" at thr Glory Baptist Church in Appomattox, VA on August 31, 2008.

We have been working on drama with the teens in the church for about a year and they were quite disappointed with the skits we were choosing. We asked one of the teens to find something they would like and during an internet search, your website was found. Several skits were considered by the class and they chose the perform "The Wrap Group."

I have never seen them so excited about the previous skits they performed! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to help these children grow in God and in drama.

-Victoria Campbell


Dear Fred,

The Melbourne Seventh-day Adventist Church in Melbourne, FL performed "The Crate Escape" on May 10, 2008.

My 11 church school students, ages 8-15 performed this script yesterday for our very conservative church as part of our graduation church service. It was a HUGE hit. 

I knew it would be entertaining, but I was concerned about the reaction of some of our older, more conservative members.  Afterwards, a gentleman who is very educated, very conservative, and very opinionated, said it was great and that it worked because the script got the story right.  He said it was the first time he's seen this topic dealt with in a theologically correct way in a drama.  The kids had fun with it and I think we were able to glorify God with our performance.  Thank you so much for this resource!

Dear Fred,

"The Wrap Group" was presented at the Jefferson County Nursing Home in Fayette, MS on May 14, 2008.

I am very impressed with the scripts that I have read. We are celebrating nursing home week and the nursing staff has to present a program. We looked at "The Wrap Group" and thought it would be good to perform. Thank you for having this site and for allowing your talent to be used by other people. I used to write skits but lately have been so involved with work and kids that I have not come up with anything. Again thank you for having this site where those who are "stressing" coming up with the right idea can find almost any subject addressed in a Christian perspective.

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!

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.

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
Tulsa, Oklahoma


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
First Baptist Church, Hibbing, MN


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
Comstock Park, Michigan


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
Hillsboro, OH


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.
-Nancy Roosa


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!
-Joyce Humberd


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,

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
Mabank, Texas


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,
-Barbara Humphries, Director


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,
-Cheryl Smith
First Baptist Church
Newkirk, Ok


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,
-Della Sadler


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,
-Marlena Gilliland


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,
-Tony McArthur


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,
-Barbara Ebel


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,
Alturas, Florida


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!!!

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.

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!

-Jennifer,
Claridon, OH


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!
-Shannon Lawley

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
Joplin, MO


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
Impact Church, Charlotte, NC


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.

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.
-Angelia Hines


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,
-Allison Naidoo

Fred,

I just want to first thank you so so much for the skit, "The Wrap Group" (and the website)!!
I have started a Prayer Group at my church for the young teens and every once in awhile we plan and perform a Sunday program.

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!!

-Heather
Berwick, PA


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!

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!!!

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.

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,
First Baptist Church Lucas, TX.


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!!

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,
First Baptist Church, Roff, Oklahoma


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!

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.
Sincerely, Deb Cordrey, Cincinnati, Ohio

(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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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
Impact Church,
Cincinnati, OH.


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,

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
