By the Time I Finished the Third Act, Tears were Streaming Down My Face.  It was Anointed!

  I wrote a draft of this play back in August 2005.  I just wasn't feeling it so I started another draft in November 2005.  If I can be honest, it was not written in the spirit.  It didn't minister.  It was funny.  It was a good story but it didn't minister.  The Lord did not give me permission to make it available to you.  So, I put it down and left it alone.  Suddenly, the other day, it just poured out of me within a few hours.  Issues that I've been hesitant to deal with through drama came together and now it's ready for your use.

All of our plays are absolutely free to members of our website.

  Unshackled was one of my favorite radio programs growing up.  The stories of normal people being delivered from problems, habits and bondage were definitely an inspiration to me.  I enjoyed hearing about where people came from.  This style is brought to the stage in "Not Guilty."  This play is extremely flexible.  You can perform each act (or episode) independently or perform the entire project as one unit.  Here's how it's broken down:

Episode I- In Pilot's Judgment Hall
The story of Jesus' first encounter with Pilot beautifully told

Episode II- In the Principles Office
Jesus said that whatever you've done to the least of these, you've done it unto me.  Episode II brings this idea to life in a modern day high school where evolution clashes with creative design.  You will notice how it parallels with Pilot's Judgment Hall.

Episode III- The Tree
Two young men have a chance meeting in a jail cell.  One is in bondage to the homosexual lifestyle.  The other is inspired to set him free.  This is the one that had me in tears because this represents a whole group of people who aren't being taught how to properly come out of the shackles by the church. 

Episode IV- Your Latter Shall Be Greater
Two ladies meet in a grocery store and find out how Psalms 19 can convert an atheist.

Episode V- The Plan
We wrap up this segment with the plan of salvation presented in a way that anyone can understand.

What do all of these stories have in common?

  As one of the main characters says in the play, when we give our hearts to Christ, He declares us not guilty.  It simply does not matter what we did before the moment that we repented and began to walk in a different direction.  People always say "just turn it over to God."  This play shows people just how to do that.

Requires 3 females, 5 males, and 3 unseen characters.  Approximate running time is 40 minutes. Music and sound effects are included.  Printed copies of the script are optional. 

 These stories meet people where they are.  I scaled down the singing in this one and focused on ministry.  If you are looking for something that will help you tackle the issues that I've listed above, download this play and start reading it today.  It just may do something personally for you.   Even the music has been carefully chosen to add to the compelling drama that calls the sinner to repentance.  I have no doubt that audiences all over the world will remember this play for the strong themes that run through it.  Try it today and see if you agree. As with all of our plays, if you read it and find out it's not for you, just let us know within 30 days and we'll return your money with no hassle.
