O Holy Knight
Celebrate Christmas in a Castle!
In this mirthful, medieval, 60-minute Christmas comedy, a blizzard has confined a motley mix of commoners, merchants and courtiers together in the castle’s banquet hall. The ladies-in-waiting are becoming inpatient, Christendom’s oldest squire has the hiccups, and Jabber the Jester’s outrageous antics aren’t helping. To pass the time, and to cheer Lady Dolores, whose husband is being held for ransom in a foreign land, they agree to perform a Nativity pageant, using whatever props and costumes they have on hand.
With a simple set, extremely flexible (and potentially large) cast of colorful characters, loads of slapstick humor and clever dialogue, this genuinely touching inter-generational holiday play even has an inspiring Christmas miracle to warm everyone’s heart. The “pageant within the play” is uproariously inept, yet sincere. The show is easy-to-cast and stage, and is suitable for both church and community theatre production.
O HOLY KNIGHT is sure to become a holiday season favorite for your audiences, whether they be princes or peasants.

Parable Plays
Ten of my ten-minute “Parable Plays” are now available at Christian Publishers. Reading copies are available for $3.99, with Performance Pack prices varying, depending on the number of scripts required.
In these sketches, I have taken popular parables of Jesus and re-imagined them with contemporary settings. Many of them are comedies. All are easy to stage. Only a couple are overtly religious, but all bear a striking resemblance to the plot and themes of the original parables. They are suitable for performance or classroom study at churches and schools. The scripts all have previews available online, and include the original Bible passage and suggested discussion questions.
Here’s the line-up. Click on each title to link to the product page at Christian Publishers.

THE NEW DEAL (Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus) Uppity Heelwell chastises Stonebroke and his mangy mutt for stepping foot and paw on his ritzy property when both men suddenly die. Stonebroke gets pampered at Paradise Cove, while Heelwell ends up at the Hot Spot Hostel, where it’s hot—and hostile.
THE SHEPHERDESS (Parable of the Lost Sheep) While it’s great that 99 lambs are safe, Mary won’t rest until Agnes is brought back into the fold.

Everyone’s favorite knot-head gets an extreme makeover in this teen-friendly, hip and hilarious stage adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s classic “Pinocchio,” now available as a full-length musical, full-length stage play, or one-act musical.
When Carl decides to run away from home, he lands a job with the mysterious Professor Pinecone and his traveling magical marionette puppet show. Once he feels the magical jolt in Professor Pinecone’s handshake, Carl realizes his bid for freedom has all kinds of strings attached. The teenager becomes Pinocchio and improvises his way through a frantically funny, contemporary yet classic version of the beloved story about a puppet’s quest to become a real boy.
Along the way, Carl/Pinocchio meets a host of comical characters, including generous Geppetto, a cricket with an attitude, the devious Fox and Cat, brassy Tina Tuna, and the sassy Blues Fairy. Will they be able to prevent Pinocchio from making a donkey of himself? Well, no, but he does eventually learn that actions have consequences, and ultimately chooses to love unselfishly. Which, after all, is what makes a person human, isn’t it? There’s even a surprise twist at the end.
This easy-to-stage, fun-for-all, budget-friendly show—in all its permutations—features loads of slapstick comedy and clever wordplay. The musical versions feature a wide range of styles including hip-hop, gypsy swing, bluegrass, and good ol’ rock ’n’ roll!

In this easy to stage, low-budget, high laugh-count comedy, a group of revelers spills out of their sleigh bus and into a snowdrift. Keeping their spirits high and lower extremities warm, the partygoers await rescue by acting out their favorite slap-happy, no-holds-barred, fractured fairy tale.
On a quest to recover and restore her Polar Bear Prince, the determined Christiana encounters a wild and crazy, flexibly-cast ensemble of characters, including not-quite-identical crone triplets, the Four Windbags, the tyrannical Troll Queen, Princess Carrot Toes, and her hopping-mad suitor Benny O’Hare.

Meanwhile, Foxy Loxy is lurking nearby Young MacDonald’s Free-Range Poultry Farm, hoping to snatch some hot wings, while a smorgasbord of chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys stick their necks out laying plans to see the queen.

Robin Hood: Naught in Nottingham
— With Jacob Dorn
— With a quiver-full of gags, slapstick humor, and hilarious anachronisms, this is a Robin Hood like you’ve never seen him — or rather HER — before!
In this frantically funny, 45-minute version of the classic swashbuckling tale, vain and pompous Prince John squeezes the simple folk of Nottingham’s purses by raising taxes and ordering the Sheriff to set up a speed trap. Robin and her band of outlaws, including panini-craving Friar Tuck, big friendly giant Little John, girly-girl Maid Marian, wandering minstrel Allen-a-Dale and his cheerleading Bench Wenches, along with other merry folk, turn the tables on the benighted Sheriff, thwart crybaby Prince John’s nefarious plans, and take the braggart warrior Gal of Gisbourne down a few notches.
There’s horseless jousting and a show-stopping archery contest with moving targets at the world’s first Renaissance Fair, goofy disguises, silly chases, epic battles with pool noodles, and merriment galore. At last, with a guest cameo by King Richard, all things “naught in Nottingham” are set aright.
This fast, easy, and laugh-filled comedy can be produced on a bowstring budget, with minimal technical requirements. Audiences will cheer with delight when you hit the bullseye with Robin Hood: Naught in Nottingham.

Saints for the Seasons
(Four, 20-minute monologues for church or theatrical use)
Put the “holy” back in several popular but misunderstood “holidays.”
Four great Christians with famous names but less familiar legacies step out of history to share the inspiring, often funny, and historically accurate stories of their lives of heroic faith, sacrifice and service in the name of Jesus.
Nicholas of Myra (December 6) — Popularly referred to as Saint Nick, this early 4th century champion of biblical orthodoxy and prodigal generosity sets the record straight on how different he is from “the other guy”.
Valentine of Rome (February 14) — A defender of Christian marriage and sacrificial love, Valentine gladly faces martyrdom during the Roman persecution of the early church by Emperor Claudius “the Cruel” Gothicus.
Patrick of Ireland (March 17) — An immature teenager becomes a slave, escapes captivity, learns to love his enemies, and answers God’s call to return to the dreaded Emerald Isle. He dedicates his new life to preaching the Good News, engages in spiritual warfare, baptizes tens of thousands, and plants hundreds of churches.
Francis of Assisi (October 4) – Nature lover and friend to animals, Francis abandons wealth, comfort and worldly glory for a life of holy poverty, simplicity, brotherhood, and evangelism, inadvertently creating the religious order of Franciscans and inventing the Nativity play.
SAINTS FOR THE SEASONS will foster a deeper understanding of the Christian role models behind four oft-neglected or misunderstood holidays while entertaining and edify the people of your church. For inspiration, humor, biblical truths, and encouragement in the faith mark your calendars and celebrate these Saints for the Seasons.
