Back to You
$20.00Price
Playing time: 50 minutes
Characters:
- Brian: Your every day bloke. A little tired of church, his marriage and life.
- Diana: A little strong willed, but not overbearing. She, too, is a little frustrated with life.
- Shepherd: Very upbeat and fun loving.
- King: Speaks like an old Shakespearean actor. Full of affectation. The broad gestures of a bad actor.
- Angel: Feisty
- Mary: Sweet, but not syrupy
- Joseph: Tender, honest.
Set Design:
- This takes place in Brian and Diana’s home. The characters from the nativity scene come to life and talk to them.
- Brian and Diana must react to all the songs as if the performers are somehow actually in their home.
- There is a lot of humor, but the drama and message comes through.
- There needs to be enough room in the front for all of the dowel or sign language groups. A backdrop of flats to represent the wall of the home is sufficient. Two entrances are needed, one at either end of the wall. There must be room to go in one door, cross the back and come through the other door.
- On the wall should be an entertainment center painted (or if room a 3D version)
- A folding Card Table
Props:
- A nativity scene with fairly large, STURDY figures. They will be dropped and you do not want them to break. The costumes of the characters should match the costumes on the figurines.
- A box which holds the nativity scene.
- Enough dowel rods for all players to have 2
Costumes
- The nativity characters must wear the same outfits as the figurines.
- Brian and Diana are casual.
Sign/Dowel/Music Pieces:
- Shake the Foundation - basic black, but add a simple shepherd’s robe and headdress.
- Mary Did You Know? – Three ages of Jesus wearing basic ‘biblical’ garb, but each needs a long red sash.
- In Your Name and Holy Lamb Medley can wear angel outfits or something primarily white.
- Praise You In the Storm – Basic Black or robes or something neutral.
- He Saw Me – God needs a white or gold robe, a gold or yellow mask and a crown.
