| Summary: Teens John and Tom need a substitute guitar player for their church band. They've found the perfect person, except they are too ashamed to ask him. Says Tom, "I don't want Joe to think I'm a religious freak!" Thus, the surrounding rocks begin to speak out, laying claim to Jesus words that if God's people are silent, even the rocks will cry out. At first, John and Tom think the talking rocks are cool, but when they find out they were the cause, and the reasons the rocks have come to life, they begin to rethink their original position. This light-hearted comedy will appeal to both teens and adults. | |
| Excerpt: This is a sample from page 2 & 3 of the skit. Tom:
(confused) What’s going on?
(looking curiously at John) John, is that you? John:
It’s not me! Rock
3:
(not moving) It was me. Tom:
How did you do that? Your
mouth didn’t even move! You
never told me you were a ventriloquist. John:
I’m not! It wasn’t
me. Rock
1:
(not moving) It was me! Tom:
(staring at John’s mouth) That is so cool! John:
(annoyed) Would you quit staring at me!
I’m not doing that, okay? Tom:
(point to John) But if you’re not doing it…(pause,
then points to himself)) and I’m not doing it…(pause),
then who’s doing it? Rock
2:
(standing up) It was me! Rock
1:
(standing up, turning to face Rock 2) No it wasn’t, it was
me! I said it first. Rock 2:
Well, I said it second! Rock
3:
(standing up) I said it third! John:
(in shock) Wait a minute, you’re rocks. Rock
1:
(sarcastic) Well, give the boy a blue ribbon—he’s
obviously a genius! Tom:
(equally shocked) You can talk! Rock 1:
Yet another Einstein. John:
But that’s impossible! Rock 2:
You made it possible. John:
Me? What did I do? Tom:
(in awe) Yeah, what did you do, John?
This is so cool! Rock 3:
Don’t sell yourself short, Tom.
You made it possible too. Tom:
I did? Awesome! We can make rocks talk!
How did we do that? Rock 2:
By being ashamed to talk about God. Tom:
(not realizing what was just said) Cool! (then it hits
him) Wait a minute…what? Rock 1:
You’re ashamed of God, aren’t you? Tom:
No! Rock 1:
What about you, John? You’re
ashamed of God, right? John:
No, I think God is righteous!
I’m not ashamed of anything. Rock 3:
Then why won’t you ask Joe to play in your church band? John: (hanging his head down) Oh, that. |
