Dramas

Part of our conversation class this semester involves writing and performing dramas each week on a different Bible passage. This was our third week doing this and it has been funny every time so far, putting the story into modern day. Today we had to present our drama on The Good Samaritan. I wish I had my camera, we looked awesome dressed up like a gang to start it off. I know I will remember to bring my camera every Thursday so I have memories of this. But we are videotaping them all so we can all have a copy at the end of the semester. Back to the story of today. We set the story in New York and involving a gang, a young prissy girl, a pastor, some other person, and a mom (that was me portraying the Samaritan). But we started off with three of us dressed like a gang. With the baggy pants, bandannas, and hats, looking all punkish. Apparently I suited the part. The other girls couldn't stop laughing at me. Anyways, we beat up Amy (a girl from Altona) pretty good (she made bruises all over with make-up to add to the story) and stole all she had. We left her there to die. First a pastor comes by and says she isn't part of her congregation so she has know reason to help her. Secondly another person walks by saying she doesn't see anyone capable of helping so she continues on. Then comes me carrying my baby(doll), and drops down to help. I have everything in my diaper bag ready to help, including bandaids of Hannah Montana and High School Musical. Surely those would help her feel better. Then after calling an ambulance (a red wagon) we get her to the hospital where one of the first questions is "do you have insurance?" A common question in the States hospitals. I, being the Samaritan have money to help so I do. It really was so funny, maybe when I get a copy of it I'll even post it for you to all see. Our teacher couldn't stop laughing once again. Especially since we've added some inside joke lines, that we have claimed as "our lines". Anyway, that gives you an idea as to one of our assignments is weekly. It's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun.
