This site is to inform and celebrate some of the more creative aspects of spreading ones faith, namely through skits and poetry. Using humor and acting or ryhmes and allusions are great ways to spread the Word.
"Do you want to hear a story?" That question has turned the heads of young and old alike as long as storytellers have been issuing the invitation. It is not a coincidence that God, who made us to learn through stories, chose the vehicle of "story" to instruct us His divine truth when He walked among us. The "parable" is God's idea; that is why we flock to stories, and that is why they have the power to mold us. Is it any wonder that Satan works dificult to fill our minds with bad stories?
Let's silence the whine of bad stories with the roar of God's story. It is my earnest prayer that you locate these dramas useful, and my humble privilege to join with church dramatists all over the place, as we instruct as Jesus taught:
"and He spoke to them in parables, saying..." (Matthew 13:3)
A skit is a short play that is most commonly performed in a more informal setting like a club meeting or a classroom. Skits are usually humorus. Acting is to perform, to play a part, to preoften be a character in a play for theater, a movie, television or radio. The written text for a skit or play is called the script.
Sketch comedy is made up of a series of short comedy scenes or vignettes, called "sketches," generally between one and ten minutes long. Such sketches are performed by a group of comic actors, either on stage or through an audio and/or visual medium such as broadcasting. Often sketches are first improvised by the actors and written down based on the outcome of these improv sessions; however, improvisation is not necessarily involved in all sketch comedy.
An individual sketch or vignette is a quick scene or skit formerly used in vaudeville and used today on variety shows, comedy programs, adult entertainment, talk shows, or certain children's television programs (such as Sesame Street). Such a sketch can include footage of a "man on the street" on evening comedy television interview programs like the Tonight Show.
