Act Upon a Story: A Series of Skits About Joseph

This book is a series of twelve short skits portraying the events in the life of Joseph, as depicted in the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. This would be a valuable resource for those involved in Christian ministry and religious education. These skits could be used as introductions to a series of sermons or lessons about Joseph, or combined into longer skits, or into a play. Narration included with most of the skits provides a brief summary of the previous skits performed, to aid the audience’s understanding, if the skits are performed on separate consecutive days or weeks. Staging plans and ideas are also included with the skits, when appropriate. The authors have found that the use of drama greatly enhances the impact of a message, and increases retention of the principles taught. People will remember a story and its’ meaning; and the use of drama is a very effective story-telling method.
