“These Hands” Actors should not be lined up in the exact order of their monologues. Actors have their backs to the audience and turn to face the audience right before they deliver their first lines – i.e. the underlined portion of the previous actor’s lines. An option would be to have the actors overlap on the words “these hands.” After delivering their monologues, actors freeze with their hands out front with palms up. An option could be to lift the hands slowly to a posture of worship as the music begins at the end of the script and as the lights fade. Woman #1: These hands. I remember the first time they picked up a drink. I remember thinking how it was

    As you enter through the door on the first level of this San Francisco-based Baptist-rooted church, you become overwhelmed by the warm hug and kiss of Sister “What’s-her-name?” as she bold and kindly greets you, “Good morning! God bless you!” Walking up the stairs heading into the Worship Center, Brother and Sister “So and so” affectionately embrace you, just as an aunt or uncle would at a family function. In an instant, you are drawn in by the harmonious singing of the choir over the upbeat sounds of musicians playing the drums, keyboard, guitars, organ and tambourines. As you look around, you may not recognize everybody, but you sense a powerful family-like bondage. Although the love of Christ…

    The protagonist is also a boy and he is being welcomed by his Aunt to Christianity. The pre-adolescence is a stage where curiosity is prevalent and answers are taken too literally. This caused a failed communication between the Aunt and the boy regarding Christianity. The young boy had interpreted that he will literally see Jesus starting with a blinding light and an actual Jesus inviting Him to be saved. In his own innocent bouts, he had anticipated the coming of the said “Jesus” who will come and save him. For this little boy, he knew the importance of this Savior as He had made the senior community sing, dance, and rejoices in His name. This vivid picture of Christianity had put high expectations to the boy and had disillusioned the young boy’s faith. When he didn’t see the coming of “Jesus” for the longest time, the questioning of the community on his status of being saved pressured him to make a decision. However, this decision is not the kind of choice that the Aunt was really implying to the boy. The decision was out of the pressure that the community had put into him when he was on the spotlight. Another pressure that he had seen is when one of his friends who pretended to be saved by Jesus looked down on him, grimacing. On this part, the boy asked himself why a liar is not struck by lightning. We can also assess that the boy also…

    As I listened to the preacher give a sermon about the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. I could hardly wait for the event that was going to take place after church. The event was the reenactment of the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. According to the bible Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey while the townspeople laid down palm branches in his path (Suzanne 4). The reenactment was only a small part of the Holy Week. The Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday and Ends on Easter Sunday. Throughout the week there are many events that reenact the last days of Jesus and today is the reenactment of the arrival of Jesus into Jerusalem. I had always gotten excited for event like these, but what made this one special was that I was going to be selling woven…
