Speech Of Curses
Speech Of Curses
Couldn't load pickup availability
Theme: A short comedy tells of the power of the tongue and that there is indeed power in our words. More often than we can imagine we speak curses over us. We say things like “I can’t do this job”, “I will never pass this class”, “I will never be healed of this disease”, or “I can never overcome my addiction” .
Can be used in conjunction with DramaShare’s “Speech Of Blessings” script.

Sample of script:
Ronnie and Jonnie are on stage, wandering, bored, checking watch, kicking imaginary objects
Ronnie: Well I for sure don’t know what to do. . . . What do you want to do Jonnie?
Jonnie: Look Ronnie, why you asking me what I want to do? . . Nothing around here to do, this here is Boredom City is what it is!
Ronnie: Well look, that there is hardly late breakin’ news! . . . Nothin’ ever happens around here, nothin’ to do around here, and for sure its not gonna change anytime soon!
Lonnie comes on stage
Lonnie: Hey Jonnie, Ronnie, what’s happening?
Ronnie: What’s with that silly talk Lonnie?
Lonnie: Silly talk?. . . I only just asked what’s happening! . . . Why is that silly talk?
Jonnie: It’s silly talk on account of nothin’ ever does happen in this borin’ town!
Ronnie: Yeh Lonnie, you’ve lived here long enough to know this here is Nothin’sville!
Lonnie: You guys for sure are down in the dumps. . . . What say we play some football?
Jonnie: What is wrong with you Lonnie? . . . You very well know that we are just three people . . . what kinda football game can we play with three people?
Ronnie: Yeh, Lonnie, three people for a football game? . . Maybe get your head on straight and think things through, will you?
Lonnie: Well I thought we can look around; see who’s out on the street, maybe phone up some guys.
Jonnie: Now there is a real winner idea, isn’t it Lonnie?
Ronnie: What’s the first thing into a guy’s mind when you ask them to come play football with us?
Lonnie: Ummmm, likely they think this could be lots of fun?
Ronnie: Dream on Lonnie! . . . First thing a fella thinks is you want them to play quarterback!
Jonnie: And you end up with a couple of dozen guys all annoyed they can’t play quarterback.
Lonnie: Well, OK then, if not football then something else.
Ronnie: For instance?
Jonnie: Yeh Lonnie! . . . Tell us your new plan for fun, fun, fun!
Lonnie: Well, maybe let’s go wash my car and after we are done . . .
Jonnie, amazed:
You expect that Ronnie and me can know enough about cars to step in and help wash your car?
Ronnie: When you look at me do you see a car mechanic?
Jonnie: I simply don’t have the mind for that kinda work; I could never be smart enough to do that!
Ronnie: Me neither! . . That’s like way beyond my abilities!

Power of the tongue, there can indeed be blessing power in our words.
Unfortunately more often that we can speak curses over ourselves and those around us. We say things like “I can’t do this job”, “I will never pass this class”, “I will never be healed of this disease”, or “I can never overcome my addiction” .
