SAMPLE SCRIPT - The Quickening!
Ponder -- I have so many questions. I believe in God. At least I think I do. I mean, this can’t be all there is … can it? One the one hand I’ve never seen God. He’s never talked to me out of a burning bush. Besides that story is just allegory right? Wasn’t there a plant that really did burn?
Skeptic -- The herb Dictamnus albus, also known as false dittany, white dittany, or gas plant gets its name from comparison to the Bible account. The whole plant produces aromatic oils that can catch fire readily on hot days.
Guide -- Though not without injury to the plant.
Ponder -- On the other hand if God is real He could make a bush burn without hurting it. But what about Noah’s Ark? Come on! Could it really have happened?
Skeptic -- The story is a myth based on other flood fables told by various ethnic groups who populated the Middle East at the time of Moses.
Guide -- Which validates the existence of the event. Faith is required to decide which account of the event is true.
Ponder -- Faith. I have little of that. Questions? I have lots of those. Like ‘what is faith’?
Guide -- “Faith is the … “
Ponder -- Shut up! I know that answer. But doesn’t it take faith to believe in faith? How can I believe in something if it hasn’t been proven to me? Oh, I know, it just takes faith. Right. I want to believe in God. I really do. But there are so many things I don’t understand. Is heaven real? Is hell? Did God really become a man? How can God let little children die? Why is there so much suffering? Do angels exist? (Stands, Skeptic and Guide move to the box, open it and begin to take out props for next scene) Why did God not take Cain’s sacrifice. What did he do that was so wrong? He gave his first fruits, but God rejected Cain. Isn’t doing your best enough?

This is a drama about various attitudes toward the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It is abstract in design. The players never need to leave the stage, although they may. During the drama they take on many roles - Cain, Abel, Moses, Job, Elijah, Peter, James, John, Judas, etc. Through these stories the faith and hope of His coming is emphasized.
Set consists of a neutral black background with two entrances. Available for projections or gobos. It can be a solid wall, but hanging curtains work just as well. Two stools may be used toward the back for the characters not active in a scene.
The costumes are neutral. They do not have to be black, but for the ‘Job’ scene they must not have anything that reflects black light.
Large trunk in center for props and costume pieces. They also sit, stand on, and get into the box.
The box measures 5’ X 2½’ X 2½’ and the lid hinges open.
Inside the box are two red lights that shine upwards. These are only used in the Judas scene. There are cut outs in the front of the box. When the red lights are on the cutout forms flames. These flames need to be hidden by other designs painted on the front.
