“How else can you proclaim the gospel and have people thank you for it?” Such has been the feedback received from these and other drama in The Hive collection.

Using humour to disarm and emotion to engage, drama is an excellent means to show and tell the good news afresh. Whether it’s a "heard-it-all-before" or "don’t-have-a-clue" crowd, the skits and puppet plays in this book will allow the greatest story ever told to be heard with new ears.

How would Shrek’s donkey speak of Palm Sunday? Was Jesus’ body stolen? What would bumbling Inspector Clueless make of the evidence? Is the cross the end? Just some of the questions we consider in this thought provoking collection.

Great for worship, kids groups, schools and community events.

Making children's time in church services interesting/funny can be a challenge. (Back in seminary, theologs irreverently called it the 'Brats' Chat').

Here we have some very creative ideas to get the Easter message across to young people. They include a 'Shrek' donkey telling the Palm Sunday story. It's rated 'comedy' and it's very funny - 7 minutes of it, if your congregation can cope with some humour. Palm Sunday is the setting for a political rally - with placards etc. The 'sideways look' at communion will be also challenging for people who don't smile much (with its party food - a packet of chips, bottle of coke, basketball etc.).

The Easter weekend has four more serious offerings - 'Is this the End?', 'The Body Snatchers', 'Inspector Clueless Investigates Easter', and 'Emmaus'.

Brings back memories of skits we used to do at Beach Missions. Very entertaining
