Thespian Theology Cycle A

The author of Thespian Theology: The Parables Of Jesus As One-Act Plays follows up that popular CSS title with an all-new collection of fun and enlightening sketches based on Cycle A lectionary readings for the Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany seasons. The offbeat humor of TenBrook’s scenes is a great way to share the Gospel — audiences will laugh while they are stimulated to look at the scriptural message in a new light. Originally developed for presentation by a high school-age youth group, these versatile pieces can be used in place of the Sunday sermon or for youth programs and other fellowship settings — and these simple, easy-to-perform sketches are an excellent tool for reaching out to unchurched people and getting them excited about Jesus Christ. Each skit is accompanied by a page of “Thespian Theological Thoughts” that briefly makes an explicit connection between the drama and the scripture passage. It’s just what you need to inject a healthy dose of fun into the serious business of speaking and hearing the Word of God.

Some of the amusing titles include:
* N-o-o-o-t Exactly (Advent 1)
* What’s The Word? (Christmas)
* Unfathomable Riches! No Assembly Required, Gentiles Included (Epiphany)
* The Foolishness Of God (Epiphany 4)
