Season's Greetings

Brother Bo Stepp is a famous black talk show host who's had his fair share of "caught on tape scandals, shocking DNA test results, and love triangle surprises." His one problem is that his mother has been pressuring him for years to do a Christmas special. We all know that you can't disappoint Momma. So, this year, he agrees to do the show on one condition - yes, you guessed it - it has to have shocking revelations about common assumptions that Christians make. Bo Stepp has no intentions of parading the usual cast of Christian performing artists in front of the camera just for the sake of hearing his favorite Christmas songs. Sure, there will be plenty of praising God and singing at the end, but first Bo investigates exactly what religions influence Christianity.

Season's Greetings is slick, clever, informative and very entertaining. Go on a journey with Bo to separate the facts from the fiction concerning Jesus Christ. The characters are a lot of fun to do and the play moves along so quickly that your audience will be left wanting more.

At the start of this scene, there is a lot of fanfare with theme music and clapping (because one of your stage hands will hold up an “Applause” sign for your audience to clap when they hear the theme music.) The host does not come out until after he or she is announced. When the host appears, the stage hand holds up another sign with “Stand and Cheer” on it. Since Bo has many more lines than anyone else, index cards organized by scenes would be a good idea. He is not to read the cards but glancing a them to make sure he’s stays on track is an acceptable practice of a talk show host.

We’re now back from the first short commercial break and Bo is sitting behind his desk and his first guest is already seated on the leather love seat. As the scene is lighted, Bo and GoShawn are already deep into a private inaudible conversation. The music is cued briefly and the audience is welcomed back. Of course, we’ve already established what the stage hand is doing with the “Applause”, “Laugh”, and “Cheer” poster boards.

GoShawn is from the Nation of Islam. He is wearing a suit with a bow tie. Please see the diagram at the end of this skit.
