The Whole Armor Of God
© Puppet Productions
CAST: Frank, Joe, Ed
PROPS: Tin pie pan, cap made from aluminum foil
SCENE: Frank enters the stage.
FRANK: (ANGRILY) I'll bet he doesn't even show up, the little runt! If I were Joe, I'd be at home--under the bed!
JOE: (ENTERS WEARING A CAP AND PAN ACROSS HIS CHEST) Well, here I am!
FRANK: (SNEERINGLY) So I see. You look like the leftovers from last week's dinner.
JOE: I am ready for you. I can take whatever you can (TAPS CHEST) dish out.
FRANK: I can't fight you. It wouldn't be right to mask a guy who's permanently out to lunch.
JOE: (FOREHEAD TO FOREHEAD WITH FRANK) Oh, yeah? I've got the shield! You just try something!
FRANK: Your face is going to be as flat as that pan by the time I get through with you.
(BOTH EXCHANGE SEVERAL "OH YEAHS?", ENTER ED)
ED: Hey guys, what's going on here?
FRANK: Oh, hi Ed. I was just getting ready to mash this walking TV dinner.
ED: (LOOKING AT JOE'S ARMOR) Joe, you do look pretty strange. Why are you dressed like that?
JOE: I am doing what the Bible says for me to do when I get in a spot like this.
ED: The Bible says to wear tin foil? Are you sure you haven't been reading The Wizard Of Oz again?
JOE: No, it says in Ephesians to take on the whole armor of God if we want to be able to stand in the evil day. Boy, is this an evil day!
ED: You should have read the rest of it, Joe. Truth, righteousness and faith are the kind of armor God gives. You can find it all in Ephesians 6:13-17.
JOE: But I can't wear things like that! How can they help me?
ED: This kind of armor is inside of you, making you strong and helping you to trust God to take care of you. God also gives peace, which reminds me--what are you two fighting about, anyway?
FRANK: You know, I can't even remember now!
JOE: Me either!
ED: That's better. C'mon I'll treat you both to some lemonade.
FRANK and JOE: All right!
ED: Hey Joe, before we go--could you take off your "armor" first? I don't want to be seen with someone who looks like they've been canned! (FRANK, JOE AND ED EXIT LAUGHING)
HEY!
Did you hear music on this page?
Well, that's what it's like to watch a script with no lead in or out music.
Now, just think of how fun it would be to always have opening and ending song bits to
start and stop
your "live" performances!
We carry 2 CDs of openers and closers to "bookend" your live skits. Only a few seconds long, it helps your audience to know when the action is going to begin, and "sounds" more professional than just starting with no introduction.
