| Summary: This is a monologue personifying Fear. Fear is portrayed as a person, talking to the audience, telling them how many times he (or she) has been with them: particularly in situations they may have never considered before. However, this is not obvious to the audience at the beginning. As the skit develops, the audience begins to "catch on," until Fear finally reveals himself near the end. | |

Excerpt: This is just a sample. Whole portions of the sections have been excluded, but this should be enough to give a general feeling of the overall skit. Monologue opens with the actor (man or woman) dressed in all black, sitting on a stool. The actor’s head should be down. After 3-5 seconds of silence, with head down, the actor slowly looks up and glances around the audience. As the actor glances around, a grin begins to form on his/her face. The actor should speak slowly, calmly, and at a steady pace. Monologue begins: Do you recognize me? You may not…yet. But I know all of you. I’ve been with you more times than you may remember. I’ve been to this church many times. I’ve sat next to you while you’ve worshipped. I’ve stood behind your pastors as they’ve attempted to deliver messages. I’ve been in your Sunday school classes, near your teachers and your children, and I’ve been in your fellowship hall..... ....I’ve traveled the world. I’ve met new people, caught up with old friends.... My schedule stays full. I’m a hard worker and I take my job very seriously. I do it well. I’m persistent, calculating, aggressive, even relentless perhaps.... Do you recognize me yet? (Gets up from the stool to walk slowly around. Looks around in audience. Speaks, as if directly, to one member) What about you? Surely you recognize me. (Note: The skit continues as Fear begins to describe various situations of which he has been a part of.) |
