Welcome to my Christian Script Site
While a few of these scripts are free, most of them are available for purchase through Amazon. You can either get the script on a Kindle or you can download a free Amazon Kindle app to any reader device. Each script is 99 cents each, and once you download it, you can share it among everyone who might need a copy. You can also purchase the full script collection for just $2.99 to read them all beforehand. Even better, if you are an Amazon Prime member, you can borrow every single one of these scripts for free before you purchase them.
I decided to go with the electronic copies because it makes these a lot cheaper. You would not have these prices for a printed script, and I pass the savings onto you.
I hope you enjoy this page and these scripts. Drop me a line if you have any questions or comments. Also let me know if you perform anything I've written. I always like to know how these scripts worked out for you.
Check back often as I am constantly updating this website to add more material and announcing promotions. Once a week, every Thursday through Monday, I will release a script for free on Kindle. Come back every week to find the new script.
Script Promotion Week
This week, Monday through Black Friday, I will release two free scripts for two days. Each day's scripts will be from a different one of my collections.
November 24 & 25
From my Dramatic Duets collection:
Gilda Does Something Funny
About this script: This duet examines learning how to trust God to work out the finer details, using the example of one of the funniest women of all time, Gilda Radner. That’s right, a Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player is a spiritual lesson for us all.
The Counselor is [In]
About this script: Taking a page from Charlie Brown, this duet examines why being a Christian is not a guarantee that you won’t have problems. Our main character is having a tough time of it and can’t seem to catch a break. What’s worse, the usual Sunday School answers don’t help, as he’s doing everything right and still struggling. He exposes the dirty little secret that we Christians like to keep to ourselves. Perhaps it’s time we’re more honest with each other.
November 25 & 26
From my Crazy Christians and Digital Daring Deeds collection:
Facebook Inquisition
About this script: The Facebook Inquisition pounces on a poor individual because his Facebook activity isn't Christian enough.

November 27 & 28

"Real Women" with Luci Fir
“Real Women” with Luci Fir
By Charles B. French
Co-written by Lisa, Dana, and Brandi
What does it mean to
be a “real woman” in the world today? Everyone has an opinion, not all of them
good. Sometimes it seems like the more a woman tries to follow this advice on
real womanhood the more miserable she gets. This script explores those issues,
the internal conflict that faces many women today, and presents a way out from
under the burden of unneeded guilt and obligation.
Note: This script was
performed for a women’s retreat and broken into three sections, each scene used
to kick off a separate session. While the following script is broken into three parts, it can be performed all at once, and you only need to omit the lines
about taking a “commercial break.”
Characters
Angeline – she’s
having a terrible nightmare. She is an ordinary woman burdened with many
insecurities about what it means to be a woman, unsure of what she should and
shouldn’t do.
Luci Fir – the
devil in Angeline’s dreams, she is there to give Angeline advice on what it
means to be a “real” woman, sometimes invoking Scripture to make Angeline feel
even more guilty and inadequate.
Techno-Mom
Techno-Mom
By Charles B. French
By Charles B. French
While technology can be an amazing tool that helps us in our day-to-day lives, we can become addicted to it far too easily. Sometimes we get so caught up in keeping track of everything that happens in social media that we ignore what's happening in front of our faces.
Characters
Katie - a mom who pays more attention to her phone than her family
Mark - Katie's husband
David - Katie's son
Madison - Katie's daughter

Every week I promote one of my scripts for free. It's always available from Thursday through Monday.
This week's offering is First Feline Church from my Dramatic Duets collection.
About this script: This duet examines Cat and Dog theology and the church. If you feed a dog, it thinks you’re God. If you feed a cat, it thinks it’s God. We can have the same sense of entitlement in our Christian lives, and taken to extremes, it’s not a pretty sight.

To Carry A Mat
To Carry a Mat
By Charles B. French
The
men who carried the paralytic to Jesus would stop at nothing, literally
nothing, to see their friend healed. Still, such an act of faith could
not have been easy for all of them, just as taking a step of faith isn’t
always easy for us today.
Reference Verses: Luke 5:17-26
Characters: John is cynical about Jesus, and Paul has his doubts. Daniel has faith and Joshua is determined to get his friend to Jesus.
The Tempter's Trainee
The Tempter's Trainee
By Charles B. French
We
all have free will. The devil can’t literally make us do anything.
However, this doesn’t mean there aren’t temptations out there that can
trap and destroy us if we’re not careful, and even if we Christians can
avoid the usual pitfalls, there are plenty of other temptations we can
fall into. Sometimes what seems good is actually the worst thing in the
world for us. The devil is a crafty one. He’s also a really big jerk.
Reference Verse: 1 Peter 5:8
Characters:
Satan
– a seeming paradox. He is very smooth and yet is a big bully. He is
very full of himself and yet immature. To play him, all you need is a
man in a really nice suit.
Demon – Satan’s new lieutenant. He sits back watching the master at work. He is also in a suit, but in a tweed one.
Martin – a young man just leaving college.
Nancy – a wife and mother who is devoted to everything she does
Billy – a firebrand who is out to destroy all he believes is evil
Sunday Morning Runway
Sunday Morning Runway
By Charles B. French
It’s so easy to forget what church is really supposed to be, and who we are supposed to be there to follow.
Reference Verses: Luke 9:23-26
Characters: Jim is the announcer and Steve
is the color commentator. The announcers sit at a table wearing
headphones, talking into microphones. They look past the audience at the
“runway.”
Plus 2
Plus 2
By Charles B. French
Church
is more than just sitting through a weekly service, and to truly get
something out of the experience, one also needs fellowship with fellow
Believers and service in the church and/or community. (The Worship +2
concept)
Reference Verse: Hebrews 10:25
Characters: Three people are all giving their own testimonies about being a part of a church. Aaron only attends worship services. Billy only attends worship and Sunday-school, while Cathy attends worship, Sunday-school, and participates in ministry.
Parental Priorities
Parental Priorities
By Charles B. French
It
can be so easy in our marriages to be overwhelmed by life, be it from
our careers or our children. Sometimes parents need to take time for
just themselves, recharge, and take a break from it all. A strong
marriage leads to better child-rearing and a better life for everyone
involved.
Reference Verses: 1 Corinthians 7:3-5
Characters: The Narrator, tells the story of Barry and Susan, who meet, marry, have children, and become exhausted. Susan’s sister Janet is eventually forced to intervene.
Lingo
Lingo
By Charles B. French
Sometimes
we Christians speak another language altogether, and it can be hard to
translate to outsiders wondering just what we’re up to.
Characters: Mary is someone who read a flyer advertising a Christian club. When she arrives she meets Rick and Ruth, who are no help whatsoever, and Paul, who finally helps her get to the bottom of things.
Five Advent Readings
Five Advent Readings
By Charles B. French
If
you are looking for something to read as you light the candles for
Advent, I offer you five passages, one for each Sunday. Each week
follows the traditional Advent schedule, talking about the different
people who played a role in the Christmas story: the prophet Isaiah, the
Shepherds, Mary, the Three Wise Men, and Simeon.
Note: The final reading has two versions, for either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. They are the same passages otherwise.
Extreme Makeover – Heart Edition
Extreme Makeover – Heart Edition
By Charles B. French
In
our zeal to celebrate Christmas, it’s easy to forget the real reason
for the season and instead focus on everything that doesn’t matter. We
make ourselves and everyone else miserable during a time of year when we
should be celebrating and contemplating God’s great love for us.
Reference Verse: Luke 2:8-20
Characters: Gary
is the type of person who makes everyone miserable by trying to make
Christmas perfect. He should be dressed somewhat Christmassy and will
have a cell phone. Ty is the host of the show who wants to change Gary’s heart.
