WHERE SKITS ARE PERFORMED

As the Skit requires very little costume or scenery and setting and is a short duration consisting of a minimal of characters with numerous expressions and many conversations, skits can be staged at the theatre, at ones school, at the churches and even at home! Skits need little time to practice and skilled or promising actors who can convey humor and the message in simplicity. Children come across as the most adroit conveyors of the skit form for they are ready with their exaggerating expressions and their clear cut dialogues. Skits are best entertainers apart from songs, dances and games sequences.

RELIGIOUS EASTER SKITS

Religious Easter skits are usually held in Churches, Schools and at home. The religious Easter skits revolve around the biblical characters and the resurrection of Christ. Skits concerning the Risen Christ from out his tomb on the third day after his death or the meeting with His disciples after his death and the message he asks them to proclaim to the world that Life lives on and so do we through Him.

Other skits revolving around the miracles of Jesus Christ are also shown as skits. One such skit of Jesus awakening the Rabbis daughter back from the dead can be enacted not only to inspire people but add a touch of humor to lighten the austerity of the message. For instance this little girl after being awakened gets cranky and so on.

Other inspirational and religious messages come through skits like the one-act comedy of Peach and Quiet where a young man who searches for Peace and Quiet and in the event finds it within his soul not outside. Comedy is very much prevalent.

Another kind of hilarious yet inspirational skit is one in which God answers the letters of little children in touching humor. This kind of skit can be performed on radio too! The Passover is also dealt with in Skit form and always traced with light humor to brighten the spirits of the viewers.

SPRING AND EASTER-RELATED SKITS

Children are the ones who search for their foundation and their fun. Therefore it is even more effective when skits are performed with Easter Bunnies and Easter Eggs, not forgetting the Easter chicks and the young, happy and curious children. Light skits drive home their message quickly where the Bunny conveys the message of Easter to one and all and some virtue that need to be highlighted. Likewise feisty chicks and talking Easter eggs are as effective in delivering entertainment and messages to their audience.

For instance the Easter Bunny tells the real story of Jesus and just why he died for the Christians. Told in question from children and answer from Bunny format, it does leave an impact. What is better is that at the end, the Bunny hands out little plastic eggs to the questioning children.

The Easter morning skit presumes what Easter would have been like on the day Jesus rose. Again enacted by children, this script tells us through question-answer-and-imagination the resurrection of Jesus Christ as seen through the believing and innocent children.

Skits enacted by Adults and teenagers envisage what if Jesus was an un-passionate soul who came down for selfish reasons the way in which he would have reacted to those who came to him for miracles.

Skits that also message through puppets are equally fun and rewarding and easy to produce. Whats Easter is all about is one such play that informs others that Easter is not only about bunnies and eggs coated with chocolate.
