UNCOVERING THE MYSTERIES OF THE PARABLES
THEME:
We will be using a detective theme to uncover the true meaning of the parables and learn how they apply to our lives today.
The backdrop for the action will be a swamp.
SETTING THE STAGE:
Set up one side of the room to look like a detectives office. Include a desk piled high with papers, an old typewriter,
a microscope, file cabinet, coat rack for detective's overcoat and hat, etc. Use the other half of the room to look like a
swamp.
CHARACTERS:
Dingo Daily the news reporter: always hot on the trail of a
breaking story.
Detective Doofuss: A fussy detective who always thinks he can solve the mystery , a bit arrogant, sophisticated, flashy
and know it all (somewhat like Timon or Basil of bakers street).
Jr. Detective Pumba: The detective's side kick, a bit dumb,
unsophisticated, plain, funny, and usually comes up with the right answer (like Pumba from Lion King)
Frederick the French Frog: A large frog puppet who is high
strung and loves to rhyme; especially with the word son. He
thinks that he is above everyone else and hates being called Freddy. He is always trying to get a pretty girl to kiss
him so that he can turn into a prince.
