It is a small town who-dunnit that has a surprise ending. Very well written. We utilized one set with minimal prop changes. There is good character development and it is difficult to guess 'who dunnit'. Lots of fun and laughs. I would compare it to ...

One Time Blind: Script Collection
onetimeblind
Lillenas Drama, 2005
Very conversational and casual, the drama in this collection is not the typical character-driven sketches to which you are accustomed. Pop culture serves as the vehicle for the lesson in some; in others, it’s the pure simplicity of the Gospel as explored by ordinary people. You don’t have to look hard for the message in each script - it’s been unapologetically included. These scripts are simple to pull off. Make them your own. ...
