Graduation Is Not for Angels: Contemporary Christian Dramas

Many of today's growing churches are turning to drama to convey the biblical message. These visual portrayals are used for sermon emphasis, general interest, and greater membership participation -- with exciting results. Add life to your congregation with over twenty concise, powerful, and life-changing sketches. Needing only simple staging and props, these sometimes humorous skits depict both modern-day and ancient Bible personalities. Several dramas appropriate for youth are included. Karren Boehr is a member of an active drama team that produces from one to three dramas monthly for Sunday morning worship, many of which she has written. Her church (with a membership of over 1,000) actively uses music and drama to enhance the message of the day and encourage more participation in worship. Boehr is a registered nurse who currently serves as the public relations coordinator of Henderson Health Care Services in Nebraska. She writes a weekly column for four area newspapers, has authored the pre-teen book Ants In The Sugar Bowl, and teaches creative writing and short story and play development with the Nebraska Artists-in-Residence program.
