Were the Founding Fathers Christians? Were they Deists? Or Atheists? This is a common question in our country today. Fortunately we have a lot of evidence all around us to help us answer this question. President Obama has declared that we are not a Christian nation, but what does the evidence tell us?

“A Different America” is a five person reading that could be performed in church or small group settings or at family gatherings. The basic premise is this: what would America look like if the Founding Fathers were not Christians? What if they were Atheists, Deists, or Pantheists as some claim? The drama reveals how silly these claims are, based upon everyday facts we have before us today.

The audience will laugh and enjoy the comparisons as they see the obvious answer to the question: Were the Founding Fathers Christians?

A Different America

Amateur Poet

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:06:54 +0000

This drama is a monologue by Francis Scott Key, the author of the Star Spangled Banner. Unfortunately, most Americans only know the first verse of our national anthem, if that. And, even if they know the words, it’s unlikely that they understand the story behind the anthem. This simple presentation would take a few minutes to perform and should be followed by singing the entire Star Spangled Banner. The audience will sing the American National Anthem with more understanding and feeling than ever before after being addressed and educated by this Amateur Poet.

What would happen if there was a trial to see if Jesus should be deported from America? What case would the attorneys make on each side? This is the debate that takes place in the drama, Courtroom Debate. This interesting and educational sketch will help the jury (the audience) weigh the facts that clearly show that America has been a Christian Nation. The issue to decide now is: will we as a nation continue down this road, or will we deport Jesus and go our own way?

This powerful drama will clearly show the audience the choices that face us as a nation.

He Will Tell You

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:04:00 +0000

Deuteronomy 32:7 says, “Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you.” This drama presentation demonstrates the importance of passing on a Godly heritage to the next generation. Three generations are involved in this sketch. As the grandpa struggles to remember the story he is telling to his grandson, his son comes in and graciously picks up where he left off. Also highlighted in this drama is the wonderful story of God’s provision to the Pilgrims, so it would make a perfect Thanksgiving drama. The audience will be challenged to tell the next generation of the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord.

Rights and Pledges

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:03:07 +0000

I demand my rights! How many times do we hear this statement in our society today? Yes, we have certain rights given to us by God, but how often to we remember our pledges? This dramatic reading involved four performers. The audience will see the amazing sacrifices that our founding fathers made to secure these Godgiven rights for all Americans. Then, the drama reminds the audience of the incredible sacrifices (pledges) that Jesus made for us that give us access to the rights of the Kingdom. Challenging, educational, and thought-provoking.

This Memorial Day reading will honor those who have died in the service of our country. Using the example of the founding fathers and patriot Nathan Hale, the two readers remind the audience that the freedoms we enjoy today are ours because of those who “pledged their lives” for America.

Top and Bottom Ten

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:01:15 +0000

A hilarious production with a much needed message.

We live in tough times. The way that Believers react to these tough times can either be a witness for our God, or show the world that we are no different from them. This presentation has two actors (or readers) and a narrator. By giving their top ten and bottom ten ways to react in difficult times, the actors make the point that we are to trust in God and not our own means.

To Vote or Not to Vote

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 02:59:53 +0000

That is the question! Only about 25% of all Christians vote in America. How would our country be different today if all Christians exercised this God-given right? This drama involves just two readers – one who gives some of the common excuses we hear today and the other to quote Founding Fathers and other famous Americans. You’ll find that the quotes will answer the excuses quite well. This simple reading may very well convince some Christians to stop making excuses and to start fulfilling their responsibility to God and country.

Two Paths

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 02:58:50 +0000

America stands at a crossroads trying to decide which way to go. The narrow road looks so hard and straight. The wide path looks so tempting. Materialism and Righteousness make their cases to America as he tries to decide which path to take.

This drama will set the stage for a patriotic sermon or presentation and will challenge the audience to think about the choices that we as a nation need to make.
