These
Talking Walls
Five Skits for Sunday Schools
by Michael J. Hotchkiss
About
the Plays:
Know the phrase, “if these walls could talk”? In this skits,
they can. “These Talking Walls” skits are set in a Christian
church social hall and, later, a living room, where the walls tell all,
as part of a 3 -skit grouping.

The Time: The present.
From
the Plays:
West Wall: East Wall, people say all the time: “If these walls could
talk” but little do they know we can when no one is listening.
East Wall: Yeah, West Wall. They’d be surprised at what we walls
have seen and heard over the centuries--the books of history we could
write.
West Wall: Somehow we were chosen to be walls in the social hall of a
Christian church and have gotten an eyeful and earful. North and South
Walls , ironically, choose to be unsociable and not speak. . . .
East Wall: But I’m here to tell you some of these youth are not
always kind to each other. If they were honest, they would tell you that
they do not always treat each other well.

The
Carrot Chronicles
Another Sunday School Skit
by Michael J. Hotchkiss
About
the Play: Can Gail carefully confide in Gary about
her affection concerning a certain creation
called a carrot? Certainly. Crazy confusion continues, but, consequently,
correctness concludes
this caper of the carrot chronicles.
Characters:
Gail
Gary
The
Place:
Any room.
The Time: The present
Water,
Water
Another Sunday School Skit
by Michael J. Hotchkiss
About
the Play:
Water Water is a wacky skit about among other things, water. More than
being able to be a liquid solid and gas, it can, also, be a funny subject
of a sketch that will float laughter to the surface (and teach a religious
lesson on the side.)
Characters:
Sam, a young man
Pam, a young woman
The
Scene:
A camp
The Time: The present
