The 7th Day
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Oct 14, 2009
| | A drama about Priorities. Director's Notes:
Let's face it - we're too busy. Steven Curtis Chapman sings a song about the "busyman." The Bible says that a man dies and leaves behind all his busy activities. Sometimes when I write a drama, God uses it first and foremost in my own life. There are a few laughs in this one but that's about it. Nothing really funny about this subject. I ended it as I'm apt to do - the Everyman can't make up his mind as the lights fade...

The Fishing Hole
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Oct 07, 2009
| | A drama about Priorities- Father's Day. Director's Notes:
This was an idea I had for quite some time. I had heard the phrase "I wasted the day
with my son today" and I decided to turn the negative meaning into a positive one so
I changed it to "I wasted the day away with my son today." The content of the
conversation between father and son can be anything you want...
It's by far my favorite drama.

John: A dad
Jimmy: A son
Martha: A mom

Next 5
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Oct 01, 2009
| | . Director's Notes:
Our pastor did a message from 1 Corinthians 13 that said we can have all the faith and gifts in the world but if we don't have love for one another, then we are nothing. It was aimed at how we love each other in the church but the drama works well for marriages in general also. The drama touches on how we can show love for each other by the way we treat each other.
Cast:
Dave: The husband
Beth: The wife
Props:
A remote
2 chairs (or couch)
Tiny wadded up pieces of paper
A small ball

The Remote
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Sep 29, 2009
| | A drama about obeying your parents. Director's Notes: I love old Twilight Zone episodes. So, I wrote this drama as if the
mom has a magical remote. It's pretty wacky but gets it's point across.
BTW, I borrowed the ending from the Simpsons...
Cast:
Beth: Mom
Diane: Beth's daughter
Rod Serling: Someone talking into a mike.
Props:
A remote
Boombox (prop only)
3 songs (1 heavy metal, 1 Johnny Mathis or the like, and 1 Beatles)
Twilight Zone theme (you can find this on the net)

Christianity 500m
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Sep 26, 2009
| | . Director's Notes:
This drama has an Olympics theme and focuses on how we can't judge others by what we perceive with our own eyes. This includes people we know (a person at church for example) or ones we don't but have "heard" about (like Amy Grant.) We are only accountable to God for our own walk with Him, not others' walks. Living the Christian life and being knocked down and judged by the world is hard enough, let alone when that abuse comes from within the church.
This drama also touches on the fact that the walk with the Lord is supposed to be si...read more |
What's Not To Love?
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Sep 21, 2009
| | A drama about humility. Director's Notes:
In Matthew, Jesus rebukes the Pharasees for showing and proclaiming their good deeds in public rather than be rewarded by their Father in heaven in secret. For many Christians it's easy to do something good but hard to not want to be recognized for it. We need to realize that God delights in our faithfulness to Him and our kindness to others. If others notice the work, then praise God. If they don't then praise God for He notices and that's what really matters...

Brett Thurston: A soap opera actor

Wisdom Sold Seperately
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Sep 16, 2009
| | A drama about seeking and finding wisdom. Director's Notes:
The book of James says that if we ask God for wisdom, He will gladly give it. He will supply us with all the wisdom we need. The question is: Whether we know God or not, where do we go to find true wisdom? Universities, books, newspapers, the Bible, friends, the Internet, etc? God will speak to us in prayer and meditation through His Spirit (which whispers to our spirit), through other believers, through circumstances, and, obviously through the Bible.
This drama focuses on our vain attempts to fi...read more |
Dear Mr. Johnson
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Sep 10, 2009
| | A drama about putting off the old self and putting on the new. Director's Notes:
Petra once did a song called "Killing My Old Man." The song was based on the idea from Ephesians 4 which calls believers to "put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts..." Paul then tells us to "put on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness and true holiness."
Sometimes I write dramas that hit close to home. This is one such drama. Why is it that, as a Christian, I continue to allow the old ...read more |
A Man, A Woman and the Test of Doom
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Sep 05, 2009
| | A drama about marriage. Director's Notes:
Pastor Ray asked me to write a light-hearted drama for this weekend centering around marriage. As I thought about what I would write, I asked myself how the world tells you if you have a healthy marriage or not. I quickly scanned the Internet until I found what I was looking for - a marriage cyber-test. I pulled some questions from it and added my own for the drama. Amazing... if we would only go to God's word, we could find out exactly what He has to say about a healthy marriage...

The Box
By Dave Marsh - Drama - Aug 31, 2009
| | A drama about using your talents for God. Director's Notes:
When I lived in Chicago and went to my favorite pizzeria, I always took note of a photo on the wall of the 1906 Chicago Cubs. Okay, I just didn't take note of it, I was fascinated by it. The photo shows that the stands were packed with tens of thousands of people and the ball players stood on the field in front of them. I wondered how many of those people lived their lives for Christ and how many of them wanted to make an eternal impact on this world. When Ray asked me to write something about using o...read more |
