The Play
| Right stage | Choir practice. You should have at least one microphone in this area. If the children will be singing solos, be sure the mike is easy for the soloists to use. The director may need to speak into the mike also. | |
| Left stage | Room for three children to talk and move around. The area they are in is the hallway outside the room the choir is practicing in. Unless the audience is very small, you will need a microphone in this area also. |
| Choir director | Older child or adult | |
| Jim | Child wearing a Superman Cape | |
| Sue | Child wearing a Bat Girl Costume | |
| Tom | Child who is hiding from choir practice. If the choir is wearing robes, this child might also wear one. | |
| Annie | Child taking part in the choir practice. | |
| Children's Choir | Involve as many children as possible. They can wear street clothing or simple robes. | |
| Kathy | One of the children in the choir. Kathy leads in the opening prayer. |
| Action Right stage | As the scene opens, the choir enters and the choir director helps them organize into rows. The director hands out song sheets. | |
| Action Left stage | Tom walks in and sits down. He opens a book and begins reading. | |
| Choir director | Hi, everyone. I'm glad to see all of you here. This is our very last practice. Kathy, would you lead us in prayer? Let's all bow our heads and ask God to take over here. | |
| Kathy | Dear God, thank you for helping us come here. We want other people to learn about You. Please help us to do a good job for You. We love you. Amen. | |
| Choir director | OK, everybody. Let's get started. Please look at the papers I just handed out. This is the copy we will be using when we sing tomorrow night. I've made some notes on it. Please read them | |
| Action Right stage | Choir pretends to be reading over the music. The choir and the director should not pay any attention to what is happening left stage. | |
| Action Left stage | Superman (Jim) and BatGirl (Sue) run into the area where Tom is reading. They are loud and very active. | |
| Jim | Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive! Superman rules - Bat Girl drools. | |
| Sue | Baloney! Bat Girl is queen of the super heros. Bat Girl is faster than 3 speeding bullets. | |
| Jim | No way! Listen, I'll even sing you the Superman Song ... | |
| Sue | Yes way! And I don't want to hear any dumb Superman Song. Let's sing the Bat Girl song. (notices Tom) Hey, who are you? | |
| Jim | What are you doing here? | |
| Tom | I'm Tom. I'm just hanging out here. I was in choir practice but Annie said I wasn't singing good. | |
| Sue | Who's Annie? | |
| Tom | Just some girl I know. Never mind. I don't care anymore. | |
| Jim | You can play with us. I'm Superman. He's my hero. | |
| Sue | I'm Bat Girl. She's the best! You can be Bat Man. He's pretty good too. | |
| Jim | Not as good as Superman. Superman can beat anything. He's got a good song. You can help sing it. | |
| Sue | That's a dumb song for a dumb superhero. Bat Girl is the best. Let's sing her song. | |
| Tom | Hold it! This is not going to be much fun if you two argue the whole time. | |
| Sue | That's right, Jim. Stop fighting and sing the Bat Girl song. | |
| Jim | No. You stop fighting and we'll sing SuperMan | |
| Tom | I don't think this is helping. | |
| Sue | OK, Tom, you pick. Who is the best superhero? | |
| Tom | Jesus is my hero. I choose Jesus. | |
| Jim | Jesus? What kind of a super hero is Jesus? | |
| Sue | Right. I go to church. I say Jesus is good but He's no super hero. | |
| Tom | Oh, really? I say Jesus is the ONLY REAL super hero. | |
| Jim | Is He faster than a locomotive? Does He bend steel bars with His bare hands? And the cape? Where's His super hero cape? | |
| Sue | Is He IN-destructable? All super heros have to be IN-destructable. And what about His song? Real super heros have super hero songs. | |
| Tom | Jesus is stronger and faster and completely indestructable. His super cape is way past awesome and you should hear His songs. Just listen. | |
| Action Left stage | When the choir begins to sing, all three children stay still and look in the direction of the choir. | |
| Choir director | (taps stick on table and waits until children are quiet) Remember to smile. Verse 1 please. (waits for music to begin) | |
| Choir | Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb? Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb? Were you there when the sun refused to shine? Were you there when the sun refused to shine? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when the sun refused to shine? * | |
| Action | Choir director holds hand up to stop choir. Director and choir member silently appear to be looking over the song sheet. | |
| Sue | Doesn't sound much like a super hero song to me. Just sounds like some dead guy's song. | |
| Jim | Right. Dead guys are not superheros. | |
| Tom | Just wait, there's more. | |
| Action | Choir director signals to begin singing. | |
| Choir | Were you there when He rose up from the grave? Were you there when He rose up from the grave? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble Were you there when He rose up from the grave? * | |
| Jim | He was dead and then He came alive again? Impressive. Super Man didn't ever come back from being dead. | |
| Sue | I don't think Super Girl ever did that either. | |
| Tom | See, I told you Jesus was the best. | |
| Jim | Well, ok, He got up from being dead. But if Jesus is so strong, how come He ended up dead in the first place? | |
| Tom | It's kind of a long story. God made us because He wanted us to be His friends In the beginning we all belonged to God But God said we could choose to belong to Him or not The first man God made was named Adam. | |
| Sue | Wait! I've heard this story His wife was named Eve. | |
| Tom | Right! Adam & Eve chose to disobey God. That choice sold people to Satan. That's why we have trouble and problems and even death in the world. Those are the things that Satan likes! People chose to follow Satan so that's the kind of world we have | |
| Jim | Not good! I don't want to be sold to anyone and especially not the devil! | |
| Sue | Me neither! | |
| Tom | Like it or not, we were all sold to Satan. We'd still all belong to him except for Jesus. See, Jesus is God's secret weapon. The whole reason Jesus came to earth was to buy us back from Satan. | |
| Sue | How did He do that? | |
| Tom | Satan thought He could spoil God's plan by getting the people to choose to kill Jesus. But God had a secret plan. | |
| Jim | Lots of superheros have secrets. Like Kryptonite. If superman gets around kryptonite it could kill him. That's his secret. | |
| Tom | Well, God's secret couldn't kill Him! God's secret plan gave us life! You see, Jesus let Satan kill His earth body. Then He went into Hell where He fought against Satan and won. After that He came back to earth to let people know we are free from Satan's power. Now he's made a place for us to live in Heaven and a way for us to get to Heaven. | |
| Sue | Get to Heaven? How? | |
| Tom | Jesus said we just had to believe in Him. We just tell God we're sorry for the times we chose not to obey Him We ask God to forgive us. We ask Jesus to live in our hearts and help us Then we become children of God. It's that easy. | |
| Action | Annie leaves the choir and comes to where the three children are. | |
| Annie | Tom, I've been thinking about what I said. I was mad because you got to help with the drums and I didn't. I'm really sorry. God already forgave me but I want you to forgive me to. | |
| Tom | That's ok. I'm not mad any more. I forgive you | |
| Annie | Come on back over and sing with us. Bring your new friends. We're getting to the best part. | |
| Tom | How about it? Do you two want to sing a real super hero song? | |
| Action | Children agree and walk over to join the choir. | |
| Choir | Low in the grave He lay Jesus, my Savior Waiting the coming day Jesus, my Lord Up from the grave He arose With a mighty triumpth o'er His foes He arose a victor from the dark domain And He lives forever with His saints to reign He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose Death cannot keep his prey Jesus, My Savior He tore the bars away Jesus, My Lord Up from the grave He arose With a mighty triumpth o'er His foes He arose a victor from the dark domain And He lives forever with His saints to reign He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose |
