Thespian Theology: Lent/Easter Cycle B

Stimulate audiences to see the scriptural message in a new light with these inspiring sketches based on Cycle B lectionary readings for the Lent and Easter seasons. Originally developed for presentation by a high school-age youth group, the simple, easy-to-perform scenes are an excellent tool for sharing the gospel with unchurched people and getting them excited about Jesus Christ. Each skit is introduced by "Thespian Theological Thoughts" that briefly make an explicit connection between the drama and the scripture text. Use these versatile pieces in place of the Sunday sermon or for youth programs and other fellowship settings -- this latest installment in the popular Thespian Theology series will enlighten audiences of all ages while leaving an indelible impression.
