"Crisis on the Holiday Helpline"
(Soundtrack key: You do your own lines and the CD supplies the background music and sound effects.)
The Holiday Helpline is set up to help people facing despair, despondency and depression during the holidays. But without the Lord, what hope can the counselor give? What if he's worse off than the callers? Funny and effective, with a powerful salvation scene. A short, VERY easy to do skit that needs only one person onstage (with the script on a laptop), and one offstage on a microphone! This may be the ultimate last-minute Christmas skit! 8-10 minutes.
This one is a favorite of those that have done it!

ReplyDeleteWe were looking for something to do for our seniors this year and came a crossed you site and the "The Cowboy Carl and Pal the Wonderdog Radio Christmas Special" radio program but it won't open the page. Is there another site, a new one ? Thank you Walt Eggers
Walt, thanks for your comment, I apologize for the bad link. There is indeed a new site, and I am adding re-formatted scripts to it as I can. This one is the last that I have to do. Email me at fpassmore@windstream.net and I can connect you with the script.
