Amazin Creation-Drama Skit

Themes: God's creation; working together; people need each other; we are all the same in God's eyes; creation of the world
Categories: With God, Personal, Bible Characters 
Summary:

After six days of creating the world, God is trying to rest on the seventh day, which proves impossible with all the yelling and arguing that is going on amongst the very creations He just completed.  It seems each part of creation feels they are more important than the others, and they want God to decide once and for all who can claim the title of "most superior." Since God isn't getting any rest anyway, He agrees to hear them out. Up first is Sun and Moon, also speaking on behalf of Light and Darkness.  Sun feels her "side" is superior because God created Light first, and also made the Sun the "brighter" light. Moon argues that even though he may not be as bright as Sun, Darkness was actually around before Light, and that without the Moon's gravitational pull, the Earth would spin off its axis. Therefore, Moon feels his "side" must be more important and superior.  Meanwhile, Tree feels that all plant life in general is the most important part of creation because without the possibility of fruit and vegetables to eat, mankind would die. Dog feels that the animals and all living creatures are the best part of God's creation because they are what make the Earth more fun and interesting.  Even Adam and Eve get in on the discussion: Adam says that since God made him first and put him in charge over the Earth, he has to be the most superior part of creation. However, Eve argues that God had to make her since Adam couldn't handle everything by himself, and that God didn't feel the need to create any more people after making her, because He found perfection in her.  So Eve feels she deserves to be named more important than the other parts of creation. But God doesn't agree.  He explains how they are all like puzzle pieces and that He created them to work and depend on each other--no one person being more important than the other.

Excerpt (Sample)

As the scene opens, Adam, Eve, Sun, Moon, Dog and Tree are arguing.  (Instead of using words, the Dog character should "bark.") The arguing should be improvised, and the characters are all talking loudly over each other.  The argument should be humorously "heated," perhaps even to the point of some of the characters pushing or shoving each other as long as it's done in a humorous/comic way.  (Maybe pulling each other's hair, "girl" slapping each other etc.) The argument is over which part of creation is the best and most important.   

 At this point, it's not that important what the characters say, as long as it shows they disagree and are arguing.

After a few seconds of arguing, God enters with his hands over his ears.  He is wearing pajamas and his hair should be messed up, as if from sleeping.  He looks tired and a bit annoyed.

 

God:

(shouting above the noise) What's going on in here? 

As soon as the characters see God, they rush to him, surrounding him, and begin talking "at" him all at once.  They demand to know who/what the most important part of creation is. Again, this can be improvised. 

God:

(annoyed, shouts out) SILENCE!

The characters stop talking immediately

God:

(in a normal voice) That's better.  Now, all of you sit down.  

The other characters take a seat, while God stands near the chair to the side

God:

Adam?

Adam:

(stands) Yes, God?

God:

Please tell me what this is all about.  Why is everyone arguing?

Adam:

Well Sir, (goes to stand next to God) it's about all the work you've been doing this week.  You've been very busy, God.

God:

Yes, I have, Adam.  I've spent the last 6 days forming a world and creating things to put it in it. This was not an easy task, even for me, which is precisely why I was trying to get some rest.   

Adam:

That would explain the pajamas.  Nice fabric by the way.

God:

Thank you; I made it myself.  Now tell me Adam, why was I so rudely awakened from my heavenly slumber? What's all the shouting about?

Adam:

Well, it didn't start out as shouting.  We were simply admiring all of your handiwork.

Eve:

(gets up and stands next to Adam) That's right, God.  I was saying how beautiful I thought the stars were-the way they twinkle and shine-they're mesmerizing!

God:

Thank you, Eve. 

Adam:

One compliment led to another and we all found ourselves quite pleased with how your creations had turned out. 

God:

(teasingly sarcastic) I'm so glad you approve.  But if that's the case, then why all the arguing?

Adam:

It started when a certain thought was voiced; that's when everything began to turn ugly.

God:

I see.  And what was this thought?

Adam:

Who...

Tree:

(still seated, interjects) Or what.

Adam:

(apologizing to Tree) Sorry.  (turns back to God) Who or what is the most important part of your creation?

Sun:

(half coughs, half speaks, as an aside) Light!

Moon:

(stands and speaks to Sun)  It's Darkness!

Sun:

(stands and gets in the face of Sun) Light!

Dog:

(stands and gets near both faces of Moon and Sun-barks first then speaks) Animals! (barks again)

Tree:

(stands and gets in the face of the others) Plants!

Sun, Moon, Dog and Tree begin arguing with each other again

Eve:

Here we go again! (sits back in her chair)

God:

(yells) Enough!

The four immediately stop arguing and sit back in their chairs quickly

Adam:

(to God) And that's where you came in. 

God:

So, let me get this straight--it's only been 7 days since the creation of the world, and already all of you are fighting over who...

Tree:

(interrupts by loudly clearing his throat)

God:

(looks to Tree) ...Excuse me, who or what, (looks back to Adam) is the most important part of it?

Adam:

Pretty much. Right, everyone?  (looks to the others who all shake their heads in agreement, then looks back to God) Yes, I think that's it. 

God:

I see.  

Tree:

(stands and goes to God) If I may, Your Holiness...may I address you as Your Holiness?

God:

God will do just fine, thank you.

Tree:

(nods) As you wish.  God, I am here to speak on behalf of Water and Sky, and Seas and Land.  And when I say Land, please note that I am including plants, grass, trees, of course (indicating himself, and vegetation of any kind, such as fruits and vegetables.

God:

Thank you for clearing that up.

Dog:

(stands near God) And I, (barks) God, (barks) am here to represent all the living animal creatures: (barks) birds, fish, livestock, wild animals, reptiles, insects, bugs of every kind...(barks)

God:

I think I get the idea.  (looking to Sun and Moon) And let me guess, you two represent the Sun and Moon, right?

Moon:

(stands) The Moon, as well as Darkness, Sir.

Sun:

(stands) And I represent Light, as well as the Sun.

God:

(shakes his head)   Only seven days and already we have the makings of the world's first lawyers. That didn't take long. 

Adam:

Sir? (confused) What's a lawyer?

God:

You'll find out soon enough.  (to everyone) With all this arguing going on, I don't suppose there's any chance of me getting any more rest today, is there?

Eve:

It doesn't look good for you, Sir.  (stands and walks closer to God) However, since you're already up, perhaps you could help us settle this argument. 

Sun:

Yeah, that way we'll know once and for all who...

Tree:

(interrupts by clearing his throat loudly)

Sun:

...Or what is the most important part of creation.

Dog:

(barks) Then we can stop arguing and you can get back to your rest. (barks)

God:

(thinking it over for a moment) Since it seems this is the only way I'll have any peace today, I'll do it.  Have a seat and I'll hear you out.  

Adam, Eve. Sun, Moon, Tree and Dog all take a seat in the semi-circle

God:

(moving to the other chair, he mutters to himself) This ought to be good.  (he sits in the chair) Let's start with you. (indicating Sun)

Sun:

(stands and speaks to God) On behalf of the Sun, that's me, and Light, we feel we are the most important part of creation because we were created first. 

God:

That's not entirely true.  I believe the Heavens and the Earth were technically created first.

Sun:

All right, maybe technically that's correct but no one ever counts the Heavens and Earth as first.  We do know, however, that the first thing you said was "Let there be light," which proves my point.  (to the others) Light is the most important thing of all.

Moon:

(stands near Sun) I beg to differ.  Darkness was here before Light.  No one created Darkness, it just was.  Therefore, Darkness is superior.

Sun:

I don't think so.  If Darkness was so great, Light wouldn't have been needed in the first place. 

Moon:

 But without Darkness, there could be no Light.

Sun:

But without Light, God couldn't have seen what he was doing when he finished creating everything else. 

Tree:

(stands) Which brings me to the reason I believe me and my friends are the most superior. If it wasn't for the separation of Water and Sky, & Land and Sea, everything else that was created after us would have drowned.  The world and all that was in it would have been over before it even began.

Sun:

 (to Tree)You can't drown Light.

Moon:

You can't drown Darkness either.

Sun:

(to Moon) Oh yeah? Well, if Darkness is so great, then why did God make the Sun, which gives off light?
