Skits

A skit is a short play (my drama teacher Mr. Reagal used to be against the word ‘skit’). These skits represented below are meant to be a growing repository of work for the common Christian, for the small group study, for the small cell church, to enrich our engagement with the Bible.

How can a skit enrich our engagement with the text you ask? Well, my belief is that skits provide a disarming and unique perspective into Bible stories (especially if they’re smartly written). And thus as an alternative to ‘preaching’ they have the ability (if used wisely) to impact biblical interpretation and understanding. I’ll probably explain more later, but try it out and see.
Of course these skits need to be adapted for different contexts if people want to use it. Anyone is free to use it and adapt it. If you’re using it, you don’t even need to give me credit. Only, don’t say that you wrote it and of course allow others do to freely do the same for your work. Needless to say, they are not to be taken too seriously.

  1. Hi Bhavna,

    Do you mean general corruption today (like bribing etc), and to be performed in front of children? That’s a tough topic, and a tough audience.

    But you could try this idea:

    1. Have one character, a man perhaps. Who has virtue as his friend (another character).

    2. The man character grows through life being corrupt, and virtue starts getting deformed and smaller and smaller…. to the point that it just goes away.
    example: The incidents can be, getting a gas connection, paying a bribe for school admission, going on a train without a ticket, driving a car and getting caught by police but paying a bribe etc etc. Each time a corrupt act is done, virtue should become smaller.

    3. Finally, (and here because I am a Chrsitian) I would bring in a spiritual angle of praying to God for forgivness and to restore virtue… and then choosing to reverse the negative actions. In doing so, virtue starts becoming bigger and bigger.

    All the best!

  2. To Ankit: I’m just too overloaded with my work right now, so I’m sorry I won’t be able to help you. Perhaps you can try doing a satire… find some quotes by Gandhi on honesty/purity for the nation. And then, the actor who plays Gandhi can say things, and then take bribes etc (opposite of the speech). the comedy could lie in the contrast between pure speech and impure action. Finally the narrator can end with a question for what is best for the nation. something like that. All the best.
