Synopsis

Any drama ministry will benefit from these crowd-pleasing sketches. Isaac Air Freight pioneered the use of sketch comedy from a Christian perspective in the late '70s/early '80s. Their eclectic blend of satirically humorous sketches are still relevant, still hilarious, still imbued with deep spiritual truths. This book contains material from their fourteen years of concert tours and five of their best-selling comedy albums, as well as numerous radio and TV appearances. It features a collection of zany characters, including a hapless private eye, a hippie leftover, an excitable sportscaster and many spoofed TV characters recognizable to every Baby Boomer. Each sketch is preceded by helpful information about the cast, setting, props and costumes. Cast sizes vary from one to twelve characters. Playing times run from five to thirty minutes. Performance rights and permission to reproduce sketches are included with the book's purchase. Use as sermon illustrations or put several together for a fundraising variety show or dinner theatre. Watch comedy work its magic on your audience by breaking down barriers so the message gets through. Thirty-four sketches including: Jerusalem Dragnet, Prodigal Joe, Leave It to Squirrellie, Specs O'Keefe in the Case of the Missing First Love, P. & R. Lucre Tithe Service, Heretic Jeopardy and twenty-eight others.
