Pentecost Sunday is coming

Many churches don't know what to do with this Sunday. Pentecost Sunday is a very hard event to make special for many of you. There is the full blown musical, The Fire Still Falls, which deals with the Azuza Street and the earth quakes at the turn of the century, but at this point this is not an option for you as it takes a month of rehearsal and live choir and actors...seeing it is already the middle of May. So what's the option? I would do a mix of interpretive sign, song interpretation and dowel rod songs that can help bring a very powerful atmosphere to you church. To see what I'm talking about visit our site at www.howitiller.com/misc.htm. We've been doing these kinds of things for 11 years and Pastors love the options.

Father's Day is coming

Now that MOther's Day has come and gone.....by the way I hope your Mother's Day events went well for you. If we were any help, please let us know. We love to hear how our drama material is helping to make your job easier. Father's Day is coming up soon. Father's Day seems to be a little harder to make special...we have a few really good sketches that may help you acheive something special for your Father's Day this year. Please take time to visit our site at www.howitiller.com/sketches.htm for a list and brief description of the sketches that may work for you. It is our pleasure to help in any way we can.

Mother's Day

I hope your Mother's Day went well. We did a song interpretation to "Handful of Weeds" as sung by Sherri Easter. Very country, but works well for Mother's Day and other woman's events.

If you are looking for sketches for Father's Day, please visit our site at www.howitiller.com/sketches.htm. We have many wonderful comedies as well as serious sketches that work for Father's Day and men's events.

Christmas CODEs

I know it's only May, but are establishing a new cocept in CODE events. We tried this concept with Easter and it worked very well. Visit www.dramacode.com to read more about the concept. It's a two day conference where you (the director) and an assistant come to learn the entire Christmas program. You leave with your Christmas play including music, blocking, staging ideas, note book, script, DVDs and CDs all in one complete package. It worked so well with Easter that we are offering it again using Christmas. You can register on line. Please let me know if you have any questions. You can also reach us at howitiller@aol.com.
