Judgement

by Sharon-Kathleen Corner

The judgement

Have several row of chairs set up to resemble a church.  Three or four empty chairs together where a, b and c will sit.

A:  Oh my gosh.

B:  What?
A:  Look at what Andrea is wearing. 

C:  Little tight for church, don’t you think?

B:  Not appropriate.

C:   Talking about not appropriate, did you hear who Bonnie is seeing?
A:  OH my gosh!
B:  Who? 
A:  Oh my gosh!  Charles!

C:  Gag me.  

(a few people look over at them)

B:  Gross.  Did you hear about Danny’s parents?

A:  Oh my gosh!  Divorce!

C:  Really?  Well, I knew it.   His mom, the way she acts around the coach on the soccer field.  My mom says it is so wrong.

A:  Oh my gosh, I know!
(several people look over)

A:  And, oh my gosh, did you hear Elizabeth failed her social studies test?
B:  (makes a humming sound) Spending too much time with Frank the boyfriend.

C:   That boy is no good.  (few look over)  I heard George is going to ask Hannah out)  C & B laugh out loud, more people look over annoyed)

A:  Oh my gosh!  Hannah said yes!!  (all laugh) 

(People around them look at each other and at them annoyed. )

(Three are silent for a moment)

B:  Did you see that painting Ivan  made in art?

A:  Oh my gosh, my dog can do better than that.

B:   And Jackie got lead role in Cinderella?

C:  (Snippy) I didn’t think she was that good at try outs.

A:  Oh my gosh, you were so much better.

B:  Her dad is probably making a huge donation to the drama department.  (people look over)

C:  Did you go to the game Friday night?
B:  You mean where Mr. Butterfingers Kevin kept dropping the ball?  

A:  Oh my gosh, I don’t how we win with him playing on the team.

C:  And our cheerleaders are the worst!
B: Well, with Linda as Captain, what do you expect?

A:  Oh my gosh I can’t stand her.

(Loud, annoyed sigh of annoyance from a man)

C:  Shhhh!  That is her uncle!   (they all three snicker)

Each grab a bible or a bulletin. 

C:  Oh, look at what the sermon is on today –

Luke 6:37 

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

A:  Oh my gosh, don’t you just hate when people judge other people?

Everyone around them turn towards them  and say loudly  “YES!”
