a church activity. Needless to say, they’re hard to find. With
encouragement from a friend, I decided to take on writing one.
“The Lost Lamm” was an remarkably-successful evening with
laughter, mystery and good food. I continued to write many
scripts over the next few years and am excited to make them
available to you.
- As your guests arrive (with their assigned potluck food item in
hand, if desired), the appetizers are on the table. They are seated by
the characters of your play, dressed in costume and acting their part.
(Example: the overworked maid might say, “Your seat’s over here...sit
down!” While the polite young heiress would quickly add, “Oh yes,
please do sit down. We’re so glad you’re here.”) This helps the
audience to feel a part of the story and begin connecting with the actors.
After scene one, the characters again come out and serve salad to
the audience (again, in character). Then scene two, maybe more before
the break for the audience to stand and serve themselves the main course.
More show and then your characters serve dessert as the audience also
fills out their solution sheet (who they think did it!) and turn them in.
The last scene is performed and the mystery is solved. The evening ends
with prizes for those in the audience who figured out the mystery correctly
(you could even have a prize for the most creative answer).
comedy with some mystery thrown in. You will receive everything
you need to put on a great show in one book: signs, prop list, food
ideas, music ideas, costuming ideas, flyers/handouts and program
example. You’re in for a great night of fun.
