actor slowly enters stage in low light, looking around, frightened. Spot slowly up.
Actor 1, nervous: Um, hello? Hello, . . . anyone? Where am I? What’s this all about? Hello?
all cast come on stage tentatively, looking around, frightened
Actor 2: What is going on here? I was at home working in my garden when all of a sudden . . .
Actor 3: I was at work, and there was this brilliant flash of light and then . .
Actor 4: I am much too busy to be here . . wherever “here” is . . .
Voice over, actors tremble: For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.
Actor 1: Judge? What’s to judge? And where is that voice coming from anyway?
Actor 2: Judged? We are being judged? Right now? Well, I wish someone would’ve told me about being judged, and what to expect. (points to another actor) Hey, look, judge him, not me. I didn’t know that I would be judged.
Voice over: Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.
Actor 3: It’s a little late now to be explaining the rules. Why wasn’t all this explained a long time ago? And where is the safety net for protection when these sort of things happen?
Voice over: He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Actor 4: Wasn’t there someone who was supposed to tell me? Did they blow their assignment, or were they just incompetent?
