Theme:       The Maker’s creations are designed to be the very best in every way, and this is certainly true of God’s ultimate creation: humans. Yet human nature being what it is, we question our worth and our perfection and many are willing to do anything to look better, be smarter, be greater in our own eyes. This drama is kind of a takeoff on Misfit Toys of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer fame. A toy truck, a doll…

Herod's ramblings, fear, anger, bitterness as he speaks of his life amid the birth of "another king" A very hard-hitting monologue Sample of script: We are the King!

A hard hitting message, appropriate for Easter, Christmas and any other time, from a totally different perspective, reflecting on the birth, life, crucifixion and resurrection, focusing on many of the events of Jesus life, including Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. The "Lazarus miracle," in my mind, set a collision course between Jesus and Rome/Jewish leaders, one which neither side could possibly back away from and not lose face. The Romans and the Sanhedrin pick the pre-Passover…
