Project Everywhere

The pronouncement is in . . God has stated that the end of the world is happening in 24 hours. The President and the secretaries of Finance and Justice must create a plan that will inform and motivate every person across the country to accept Jesus Christ within that time. Is it possible to save everyone, or will a plan be needed which will try to save only some?

Set, lighting, sound, costumes: standard

Props: table, chairs, files with papers

Sample of script:

Kim and Terry come on stage, brusquely, greeting each other

Kim: Good day Terry, how are things at Finance these days?

Terry: Same old, same old Kim. Busy, under the microscope from all who feel compelled to be the public watchdog, you know the drill.

Kim: Your portfolio in Finance and mine in Justice are the toughest on Capitol Hill.

Terry, laughs: When Madam President phoned us and offered cabinet posts you’d have thought we’d be smart enough to ask for something easy, like Education or Environment.

Kim: Not sure Michaels would agree that the Environment portfolio has turned out to be a walk in the park, but I do get your point.

Terry: All the free thinkers in Cabinet simply dream their dreams, then it’s up to me as Finance Secretary to somehow write the check.

Kim: Or for Justice to bend the regulations so as not to conflict with the plethora of charters of human rights!

Terry: Speaking of Madam President, any idea what this meeting is all about?

Kim: You got the same red-alert memo I did, “clear schedules for the highest priority meeting”.

Lauren rushes on stage

Lauren: Terry, Kim, sorry I’m late. Seems the President must be available to the media . . Anyhow, my complaining is trivial compared to what lies ahead, lets get started.

hands out files to Terry and Kim

Lauren: Now then . . . the Everywhere Project!

Terry: “The Everywhere Project”! . . . Never one to aim low, are you Madam President?

Lauren: It’s a project that can not fail, it must go out to every person, and it must go out now! The entire project will be complete within 24 hours. . . Kim, Terry . . fact is. . the world is going to end in 24 hours. . . It’s all there before you in the files.

Kim and Terry, shocked, thumb through the files intently, frowning

Kim: You can’t be serious, there must be . . a . . mistake.

Lauren: There is no mistake.

Terry: This says that . . God .. . has declared this . . . Whoever heard such nonsense . .

Lauren: Nonsense? . . Hardly. Check the information packet, it has all been verified.

Terry: Madam President, with all due respect to your well known religious beliefs, I am an atheist, I do not believe in this religious mumbo-jumbo.

Lauren: Then Terry, I very strongly suggest that you start praying to whomever it is that you do believe in. You, like all the rest of us, have 24 hours.

Terry: 24 hours to do exactly what?

Lauren: To accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour. Everyone, everywhere must be informed and convinced that this is their only chance. Now how are we to get the word out to every corner of the nation?

Terry: This is ludicrous! No one is going to take this seriously!

Kim: Terry is right Madam President. No one will take this news seriously.

Lauren: That is exactly right, and that’s why normal methods of information distribution simply won't work. If we use television, radio or newspapers most of the left-leaning editorial staffs would simply ignore, or worse, downplay, the information.

Terry: Can you imagine sending this out via email?
