Construction Zone

This drama was done in competition by the Jordan twins from Quebec, receiving a 2nd prize. What is quite amazing that these young performers were up against seniors in this competition. Congratulations!

Choosing whether to live “in the world” or following Jesus, yet realizing that, although a new creation in Christ, we are still a work under construction. This two scene drama uses the analogy of a person compared to a home under construction, and needing some upgrades from time to time, and thinking of who may be reliable to perform the on-going construction.

Cast: 2 (m or f)

Set: Very little if any set is required.  Scene I is in a home, Scene II is a suburban development. Set design may be minimal, (or none), or Scene I could have a backdrop showing the room, Scene II could be a backdrop showing two or more houses and a street.

Lighting, Sound, Costumes: standard

Props: Bible

Sample of script:

Dawn is sitting on stage reading a Bible, Heather comes on stage

Heather: Hey Dawn, whatcha doing?

Dawn: Just looking up some stuff in the manual.

Heather: Manual? Why would you need a manual?

Dawn: Oh maybe you never heard, I am working for a new boss now.

Heather: A new boss, why would you want to go and do a thing like that?

Dawn: Oh Heather, it’s just so exciting!

Heather: Just who is this new boss anyhow?

Dawn: The Boss’ name is Jessie, . . . . Master’s Construction.

Heather: Master’s Construction? . . What’s with this, you’re not part of World Living anymore?

Dawn: Heather, you should come to Master’s Construction too, you would just . .

Heather: Mind telling me what's so wrong with World Living?

Dawn: Heather, you just won't believe the benefits Jessie has to offer.

Heather: OK, Dawn, sell me on it.

Dawn: Well, Heather, to start with, Jessie will never let you down.

Heather: Where have I heard that line before?

Dawn: It’s true Heather, Master’s is different, Jessie really does care about his people.

Heather: Forgive me for being sceptical, it's just that it's just that promises are easily made, easily broken.

Dawn: I know Heather, that’s why I left World Living, I could never count on them in the crunch. But like I say, Jessie is different; not at all like World Living. Fact is he is really out of this world.

Heather: Really? From time to time I have heard something about Master’s Construction, from what I hear it's all rules and regulations, can't do this, can't do that.

Dawn: Oh, it's not like that at all. . . . Heather, I gotta tell you, I have never been so happy, . . more than happy,. . contented, than since I signed up with Master’s Construction!

Heather: Wow! Sounds to me like you have really got it all together.

Dawn: No, not at all, still lots of stuff I need to know, things I need to improve on. . . But the thing is with Jessie I know that, no matter what, I can turn to him, talk to him when things aren’t going so good.

Heather: Wow, and he’s like, . . there?

Dawn: Every time. . . And Jessie fixes things inside and out, repairs, rebuilds.

Heather: Wow! Now that’s different! Maybe you heard, I had some problems a while back, foundation was crumbling . . World Living came and gave me a paint job. . . I mean the new paint job made things kinda look better, but my foundation is still shot!
