Mother's Day Skit Testimonials

It's always better to read what others are saying about someone's material, other than the author. Here are some word-for-word testimonial emails from people that have used my Mother's Day script "Mama's Close Call." It's not too late to do it for your church or Mother-Daughter Banquet! Read on to see what they're saying:

Hello Fred,
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed both reading and performing your skit "Mama's Close Call." It was truly awesome. The congregation gave rave reviews afterwards. The sound effects CD was absolutely smashing. I have been writing plays for my church for approximately 13 years. I am working on my master's degree at the school of the arts in California (Motion Pictures and Television) to learn how to convert plays into screenplays. I am working on a school project and didn't have time to write one for the church for Mother's Day, that's when I searched the internet. When I read your material I was really impressed. I had so much fun doing your skit, that we will be using more of your scripts throughout the year. I usually do two major performances during the year (Christmas and Easter). Looking forward to doing business with you in the future. God Bless you!

Dear Fred,
The Sanctuary of Savannah in Savannah, GA performed your script, "Mama's Close Call" on Sunday, May 13. The skit was an absolute delight! Our ladies performed it perfectly and we all loved it! Can't wait to do more of your skits! Thanks so much for this ministry-- God certainly put you in our lives to assist with our ministry!

Fred,
We did your "Mama's Close Call"skit for a "Celebration of Women" Banquet we had last May 7. We purchased the soundtrack CD, not really thinking that it would make much difference, but were we ever wrong! It added so much humor to the skit; especially the can-can music! It was hilarious! We also performed the skit on Sunday, May 8, for the entire church; to give you an idea of it's success--our Pastor, Randy Damron, had a hard time getting himself together to preach afterward! The whole congregation was literally in tears, from laughing! We will definitely be using more of your stuff!! Thanks,

-Terrie Stevens Jubilee Christian Assembly Pikeville, Kentucky

Fred,
 We just performed your "Mama's Close Call" skit for our ladies mother/daughter banquet at the New Life Christian Center in Lancaster, OH. We had 140 women attend. It met with great success and was hysterical. I wrote and directed drama for years, and I've written many humorous skits. Yours are superb! We know God had a sense of humor because he created people like you and me!! At 65 I've slowed down and now prefer to just perform in skits. I'm thrilled with your quality and that you share them for free. God bless you for your creativity and the greatest of all, for using it for our Lord Jesus Christ!

Mother's Day Skits

It's nearly time again for skits that focus on Mother's Day, and we have two that have been very popular in recent years... check them out! First is "Mama's Close Call." Your congregation will enjoy these humorous skits!

Written for Mother's Day, but good any time, this skit will have everyone in stitches! Mama, settling in for a nice quiet evening with her TV, gets more excitement than she bargained for -or wanted- when her writer son drops in. Getting all choked up -literally- over his tribute to mothers, Mama wonders: will she ever get to watch her movie, or will she end up in the hospital? A hysterical 8-10 minute sketch with a heart! Click here to read it!

(Click here for a version of the script for an all-female cast, with the son part changed to a daughter.)

"Mama Knows Best!" Now available, a Mother's Day version of the skit "How To Be Spiritually Fit," featuring the same characters from the incredibly popular "Mama's Close Call!" When Mama's son Little Louie buys a "do-it-yourself" spiritual fitness program for her, things don't go as he planned. Click here to read this hysterical script!

(Also available in a FEMALE-ONLY cast version!) With a few obvious slight revisions, this could make a good Father's Day script as well!

UPDATE: Read some of the great comments below to see what people are saying about these two skits!

'Mama Knows Best" Performance Pics

Recently I found some photos posted online by a church that did my script "Mama Knows Best!"

The performance was by the Barbara A. Davis Drama Ministry at the Union Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, located in Randallstown, Maryland.

The Characters and Assistant for the play were:

Looks like they did a good job and had a good time according to the photos! A report from one of the members said that everyone really enjoyed it, also.
