Chatshow Pharisee and Tax Collector
 
More information on scripts from Christian Arts and Drama Society.    View this script now.
Intended as a modern version and adaptation of the parable. The Tax Collector is a drug dealer, but can be seen as anyone who would be cast out by society. The role of the Pharisee is taken by a judgemental studio audience, each of which personifies the idea of righteous self-confidence, and the belief that they will get into Heaven if they live nice, good lives, but that a sinner like a drug dealer could not be forgiven. However, please note that the sketch does not pretend to be an in-depth discussion of the issue of drugs.
Specially commissioned and written for the OICCU mission 1999, but it could be used in almost any setting where you can get the crowd to work with you! The characters were envisioned with the CADS ’99 members in mind, so feel free to update and change bits that don’t work.
