Easter Drama Package

Easter comes early this year so don't wait too late to start. Maybe your Pastor doesn't want to turn the platform into Jerusalem this year...that's okay, we can help you design an anointed powerful Easter Sunday through a compilation of dowel rods, sign langauge and monologues. If you visit our site at www.howitiller.com/Easter.htm, you'll see a variety of resources that can make that job easier. I'm also available for a couple weekends in February and one in March if you'd like for me to come and help. Just let me know. You can reach me at howitiller@aol.com or by calling 918-760-3561.

Here are a list monologues that work well for Easter:

The Monologues are:
1. The Act - The woman caught in the act of adultery reflects back to the day when she first met the Lord Jesus. The day she thought would be her last, became her greatest. 8 minutes. There is a custom sound track just for this monologue.
2. The Betrayal - Caiaphas reflects back to the moment when he was visited by Judas and set up the moment when Judas betrayed the Lord Jesus. Great for Easter or anytime. 9 minute
3. Obvious - There are many monologues about Calvary, but most are from Mary's or Caiaphas' point of view. This one is from the perspective of the man who begged for the body of the Lord, Joseph of Arimethea. This isn't revealed to your audience until the last line. Powerful stand alone monologue or to compliment a larger production. 5-6 minutes
4. Someday Came Today - This monologue is about the thief at the cross who reached out to Jesus. We can hypothesize about his past, but what a miraculous day for someone who didn’t deserve it. Christ’s love is wonderfully shown in this event at Calvary. Even though the event is historical, Howi brings a modern application through the breaking down of just the one line that Jesus said to the thief. “Today, you will be with me in Paradise.” Never will those words have a fuller and more relative meaning then when they come alive through this monologue.
5. The Thorns Have a Rose - Reader's theater in rhyme. A wonderful way to add something moving and emotional to your Easter program. It is divided in to two sections. The first section depicts the death of Judas and the second section depicts the death of Christ. With the right readers, this script can bring the audience to the very foot of the cross. 2 Readers 6-7 minutes

Here are some DVD ideas:

The DVDs are: • DVD Volume 1 Has "Still Her Little Child" by Ray Boltz• DVD Volume 2 Has "Redeemer" by Nicole C. Mullins and the popular, "End of the Beginning" by David Phelps• CODE Indiana 07 Has "Let the Veil Down" by Judy Jacobs and "How Great Thou Art" by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. This song performed with interpretive sign and movement is the most worshipful song we've ever done. It's a great finale piece.
