G’day Cabin Actors!
With your help, over the next 4 days we are going to present a fantastical continual story through earth’s history - with up to 28 acts over 4 days!
Each day will have the same two angel actors (played by camp staff) conversing for Act 1 and ending alone together in Act 7. The two angels have requests from God to visit different settings in a section of earth’s history, looking for people who will make room for God in their life.
Your cabin will not only be acting out acts 2 to 6 on one of the days, but also writing some of the organise chaos that will take place within the act!
You will find listed for each act a particular setting, some characters and some scene plot suggestions it’s best if you include. You will need to write two or three minutes of script for each act and cast them and rehearse them to be performed by the members of your cabin to the whole camp.
The end of your cabin’s invented scene needs to continue on into the supplied script to end off the act. In this pre-scripted ending, one of the angels will join your cabin and interact in the script with the characters the cabin was given. Do blend in your cabin’s invented script into the existing scripted script. You may or may not get to rehearse with the real angel actors beforehand.
Many acts have room for extras to take part without any set lines. This is for if there are too many cabin members to include line parts for, or so lead actors can be extras in other scenes.
At the end of the cabin acts (2 to 6), the angel will invite a round of applause, and everyone in that act takes a bow and vacates for the next act’s cast to get up on stage.

Angels could have costumes, else both wear white t-shirts. Could be guys or girls. Always played by the same two staff members.
Can have clipboards every act, with their orders from God on them (scripts).
NEVAEH: Hey, Celest, did you just get a request from God for an Earth mission?
CELEST: Hi Nevaeh. I did! You did too, by the sounds?
NEVAEH: Sure did. Looks like we’re a team then.
CELEST: Nice. I’m glad I’m not going alone. I mean, I know that being angels our strength is far superior to the humans, and we even have some extra dimensions we can escape to and all, but, from what I’ve heard, it’s pretty awful down there – at least since Lucifer was sent there after the war.
NEVAEH: Yeah. I hear the smell alone down there is enough to make your wings catch fire.
CELEST: Really?
NEVAEH: Well, not exactly. But I’d be taking a peg if I were you.
CELEST: We’ll be doing washing down there?
NEVAEH: No! for the smell!
CELEST: Oh!!!!! Right.
NEVAEH: Though, probably not a bad idea to wash each night.
CELEST: So, what exactly is your mission?
NEVAEH: I was given a list of people to visit and see if I can convince them to find room for God in their life.
CELEST: That’s my mission too. Let me see your list. [looks] Looks like we have different humans. I guess we’ll split up then, and regroup when were done?
NEVAEH: Sounds like a plan. Where do you want to meet up after?
CELEST: I know a nice solar system in the Andromeda galaxy – which is only a milli second from Earth. Let’s meet up there. They have the most amazing chocolate thick shakes.
NEVAEH: Sound’s good. Well…. Let’s do this!
CELEST: God be with you, Nevaeh.
NEVAEH: God be with you, Celest.

CELEST: Hi Noah, and Mrs Noah.
NOAH’S WIFE: Oh, hello. Please, call me Mavis.
NOAH: What’s going on, my angel friend? We’ve been in this ark for days now and nothing’s happened at all. Is this flood still on, or what?
CELEST: I’m not sure, sorry. My instructions are only to come down and find people who have room for God in their life.
NOAH’S WIFE: Room?! Weve got room alright! It’s them out there who you need to ask.
CELEST: Right. We’ll I’m glad you’re on board! Let me go ask them.
NOAH: Good luck with that. Hopefully you’ll do better than me. I’ve been trying to convince them for years now!
[Celest goes over to mocker(s)]
CELEST: Hi, Just wondering, have you got room for God in your life?
MOCKER 1: HAAA!!! Are you kidding me?, Why would I give any room to a God that locks up his followers in a wooden zoo?
CELEST: I really think you should reconsider. I hear there’s plenty of room for you on board.
MOCKER 1: The only room I’ll be making is so I can throw my arm to land tomatoes up on the deck of the boat. Actually, I think YOU might make a good target too.

reconsider!

WORKER: Clearly you normally talk to camels because nothing you’re saying is making sense at all!
SLACKER: Guys I really think you should consider adding life rafts, so it the water DOES come up to the top, we can jump in them. Just to be safe, you know.
NEVAEH: Hi everyone. What’s with this tower you’re building?
ENGINEER: You haven’t heard what the tower’s for? Where have you been? On another planet or something?
NEVAEH: Umm, well, kind of, yeah. What gave it away??
SLACKER: We all agreed to build this as tall as possible in case God decides to send another flood to kill everyone - we’ll be safe from him.
NEVAEH: Seriously? First, you have NO idea how loving God is, and secondly, if he DID want to wipe away all evil again, this tower would not stand a chance of surviving!
SLACKER: SEE! We have to build higher I tell you. HIGHER!!
NEVAEH: No! One little earthquake and God could knock this right over. You have no idea….
WORKER: What’s an earthquake?? And what brings you here anyway? Just came to poke fun at us?
NEVAEH: No no, I’m actually looking for people to make room for God in their life.
ENGINEER: We can build in a room for God in the tower, yeah, as long as he’s paying.
SLACKER: Hey, if God’s living in the tower, we would be safe, because he wouldn’t’ destroy it if he’s living in it!
WORKER: Well, he can carry his own stones to build his room – I’m not doing it.
NEVAEH: No guys, make room, as in give him your attention, and love even.
ENGINEER: Love for a God who sent a flood to destroy everyone? No thanks
NEVAEH: No, not everyone, He only wanted to destroy those who were wicked and not willing to accept a place of salvation provided on the ark. He offered to save everyone. It was their choice not to get on the boat.
SLACKER: See, adding boats IS a good idea!
ENGINEER: Nah, thanks for the offer. I think we’ll do just fine without God, as long as we have this tower.
WORKER: We’ve built this far up, we might as well finish it. Maybe THEN I’ll make room for him. From the safety of the top of the tower.
SLACKER: Yeah, I think I’ll wait and see if my building code complaints are fixed first. If they aren’t, maybe then I’ll consider making room for God. I keep submitting problems I see with this tower and honestly, it’s like they don’t understand a think I’m saying.
NEVAEH: Well, I can’t force you. I do hope you’ll reconsider.

ADVISOR: Where did you come from.
CELEST: Um, I cannot lie. Heaven actually.
PHARAOH: What brings you here, Fly of heaven?

PHARAOH: You’re an angel? You’re an ANGEL!!?? Hey, I asked you to make me a fly, magician! What is wrong with you. You had one job to do.

CELEST: Yeah, station me for a million years at the spiral galaxy’s black hole ANY day!
NEVAEH: Did you find anyone willing to make room for God?
CELEST: No, Only Noah and his family, but they had already decided. I think it was the people outside the ark I was meant to help, but they wouldn’t accept the offer. They just wanted to throw tomatoes at me! How about you?
NEVAEH: Only one accepted my invitation. I hope everyone else reconsiders. They have no idea how much God loves them, not to mention how much they’re missing out on in the future.
CELEST: Well, on the bright side, it’s been nice to meet you at least.
NEVAEH: Yeah, so many angels I haven’t met yet! We should catch up some time, Maybe after Sabbath service one week.

NEVAEH: Looks like it. I hope we manage to have more success this time.
CELEST: Surely the humans have started to figure out who God is by now.
NEVAEH: Yeah, they have a book of scriptures compiled now.
CELEST: Oh, do they.
NEVAEH: Yeah, it’s called a boggle… buggle, or something.
CELEST: Well, with Jesus having gone down there, and dying for them and raising from the dead, surely EVERYONE on earth has room for God now.
NEVAEH: Can you believe the humans killed Jesus?!
CELEST: I can, actually.
NEVAEH: True. Come to think of our experience down there last time. There’s some incredibly evil people down there.
CELEST: Well it’s odd to have to go back after Jesus’ visit. But God must know there’s someone who hasn’t made room yet.
NEVAEH: Yeah, I’m guessing it will be hard to find anyone who hasn’t made room for God yet, but let’s see.

NEVAEH: No, the killing, it’s awful.
EMPEROR: Maybe I’m thinking we send some lions in after you!
NEVAEH: Ha! I’ve silenced lions before, on my

PLATO: How large of a room are we talking?
ARISTOTLE: And will he be expanding?
SOCRAES: And if he isn’t in the room, what room is he in now?
PLATO: And does this God require a door to get in the room?
ARISTOTLE: And how large does the door need to be
SOCRAES: And does the door need a lock?
PLATO: And why does god even need room?
ARISTOTLE: Did he stop paying rent and was asked to vacate his current room.
SOCRAES: And did god smell the tree that fell in the forest if he was in his current room?
CELEST: Um, right, well, essentially, there’s a god who Loves you very much and just want to be a part of your life, you just need to make room for him in your life.
PLATO: To make room, we would need to give up some things in our life
ARISTOTLE: We would need to choose what is incompatible in the room with God.
SOCRAES: Would having God room with us be fulfilling?
PLATO: Much to consider
ARISTOTLE: Much to ponder

SHAKESPEARE: I can not tell what the dickens he’s talking about. Speaketh English, my man.
WRITER 2: I think with God being everywhere, it makes all the world a stage. And all the men and women merely players.
WRITER 3: So come again, what was your actual question for us?
NEVAEH: Room for God in your life, is it to be, or not to be? That is my question.
SHAKESPEARE: All that glitters is not Gold. We should ponder such a strange request first.

CAPTAIN: What! I went on a voyage to get AWAY from Mrs Cook! She’s been nagging me about tidying up my maps for years.
COOK: Oh well this will work out well, I can go by some fish, instead of using this fishing line. I’m quite sure it’s faulty.
CELEST: Hi there.
CAPTAIN: Where did you come from? Are you a native from one of the faraway lands we visited?
CELEST: A far away land… well yes, indeed. I boarded to ask you if you have room for God.
MAPPER: Room for God? I don’t think so. We’ve go too much stuff on the endeavour already. She’s a large ship but we really need to declutter.
CELEST: No, have you got room for God in your life.
COOK: I’ve got room for fish.
CAPTAIN: Yes, yes, I have room for God. I believe I have seen his providence in my life.
CELEST: Wonderful, then carry out justice and love mercy and sail humbly with God. How about you two?
MAPPER: Errr, sure, as long as he can find me, cause I’m not overly great at finding anything, it seems.
COOK: Nah, I’m right. Once I get a new fishing rod, I’ll have all I need.

NEVAEH: No no NO! That’s not what’s wanted. You’ve got it all wrong!
KNIGHT 1: Hey, who’s side are you on?
KNIGHT 2: Are you a spy? An Imposter?
KNIGHT 3: I say we skewer him, just in case. The Church’s work must not be stopped.
NEVAEH: Waaay, wait a minute! You have to stop this immediately. This is not what God wants! It’s Madness.
KNIGHT 1: I’ve heard all I need to hear. Let’s take him out.
NEVAEH: This is my cue to exit. Do reconsider what you’re doing!

audience] Round of applause for our actors. [Cabin cast takes a bow]
DAY 2 - ACT 7 – Angel Wrap Up
Celest: An angel, played by a staff member (not a cabin member)
Nevaeh: An angel, played by a staff member (not a cabin member)
NEVAEH: Well, THAT was another disaster!
CELEST: Talk about it! I can’t believe that even after all Jesus did, and the scriptures they now have written about God, that they still don’t have room for God. Well, most of them don’t, some do, but most are so caught up in life, they don’t make room.
NEVAEH: Bible! That’s what they’ve called their collection of scriptures, a Bible.
CELEST: Oh, but some of the things those people were doing, in the name of God! Disgusting!
NEVAEH: Humans are so pathetic, honestly! Why does God even send us to chase after them!
CELEST: You KNOW why.
NEVAEH: Yeah, I know why. Love. God loves them. God loves them…all. I know it, but I just don’t know how He does it, after all they do.
CELEST: Or they don’t do. Yeah, God’s love is inconceivable. And if it’s so hard for us to comprehend, I guess it’s even harder for the humans to understand.
NEVAEH: Don’t get me wrong. I’m more than happy to serve God. And I also pray no harm on the humans – I guess I’m just in shock at how bad things get without God.
CELEST: Well. I’m guessing we’ll both be back again. There’s still so much work to do down there.
NEVAEH: I think you’re right, unfortunately.
CELEST: What? You don’t want to go on another mission with me.
NEVAEH: No, no! I mean the fact that there’s even a need for a mission is unfortunate.
CELEST: Right. Let’s await the call then, I guess.
NEVAEH: Yes. See you then.
[wave to audience] How about a round of applause for us!

CELEST: Hi Nevaeh. Looks like it’s that time of millennium again.
NEVAEH: Yeah. Ready for another round?
CELEST: Not really. I hope it won’t be as awful as last time. I really hope they’ve improved down there.
NEVAEH: Well, they can’t get any worse, can they?
CELEST: It wouldn’t surprise me if they have. Actually, I hear there’s a large war brewing down there. The whole world is involved.
NEVAEH: Oh, great. War is so painful.
CELEST: Nobody wins. So sad.
NEVAEH: I wonder what it’s like, to just do your own thing like those Humans. And NOT have room for God.
CELEST: Woah, wait a minute, That’s how Lucifer got thinking. You can now see where that path leads.
NEVAEH: True.
CELEST: It’s so much easier to see that God really is love, and His ways are best, now that Lucifer has lead the humans down the alternative route.
NEVAEH: This is true. It was so confusing at the start, who to believe. God or Lucifer.
CELEST: That’s for sure! But having seen now the alternative to God’s way, It’s a no brainer that God’s way is best and that He really is love.
NEVAEH: Just got to help those in need now, until this is all corrected.
CELEST: Well, I guess we know the drill. Shall we get down there?
NEVAEH: Let’s get it done!
CELEST: God be with you, Nevaeh.

INVENTOR 3: Crazy, no one would ever buy that.
INVENTOR 1: Sure they would.
CELEST: Hi guys!
INVENTOR 2: Let’s ask this person then. Would you buy a torch, that has a clock on it, and an alarm, and stopwatch, calendar, camera, video camera, step counter, music player, phone and you can look up videos of cats dancing. It’s called an “i torch”.
CELEST: Um, probably not. But I’m not really from around here…
INVENTOR 3: See. Scrap that idea.
CELEST: Say, sorry to interrupt, I was just wondering if you guys would be able to make room for God?
INVENTOR 1: Make room for God?
INVENTOR 2: Sound’s like a challenge!
INVENTOR 3: I think we accept!
CELEST: Really? That was easy!
INVENTOR 1: So, we need to find out how big God is and what he want’s to do in this room.
INVENTOR 2: And does this room need to be able to travel through space and time without going mouldy.
INVENTOR 3: And will the room need to have a toilet?
INVENTOR 1: And does God need any gadgets in the room, like a torch… that has a clock on it, and an alarm, and stopwatch, calendar, camera, video camera, step counter, music player, phone and you can look up videos of cats dancing?
INVENTOR 2: This is an excellent challenge
INVENTOR 3: let’s nut it out!

JESTER: What do you call an elephant that hates taking baths?... A smelly-phant!
KING: Oh, you are too funny, my jester.
JESTER: Hooray, last week I was only one funny!
QUEEN: Yes… and I think you’ve just slid back to being one funny again.
JESTER: Oh… ☹
NEVAEH: Hello there.
KING: Yes, what is it you want. Make it snappy.
NEVAEH: Oh, I just wanted to know if you have any room for God?
KING: Room for a God? Ho ho ho ho, I didn’t know we had a second jester?
NEVAEH: Oh, no! I’m not a Jester
QUEEN: Well, can’t you see. We have EVERYTHING we want. And if we don’t, we just go and buy it.
KING: Or take it for ourselves… as we can, being ruler of the land.
NEVAEH: Really? You’re happy with only this?
JESTER: I have room for God.
QUEEN: Oh, there you go, bravo, Jester. You are officially too funny again.
NEVAEH: Are you serious?
JESTER: Yes. I might be funny, but I feel so empty. I definitely have room for God.

SCIENTIST 2: I love the concept, but the name could do with some evolution.
CELEST: Excuse me, everyone. I have a quick question for you all.
DARWIN: Oh, we love musing on questions, don’t we.
SCIENTIST 2: Yes, and between us we can make up a plausible answer for ANYTHING you ask.
SCIENTIST 3: What is your question?
CELEST: I simply want to know if you have room for God in your life.
DARWIN: Oh? Show me this God, and we can assess if we have room for him or not. We only study the things we can see.
CELEST: Can you not merely look around and see the incredible handiwork of God?
SCIENTIST 2: Actually, Mr Darwin, has come up with some amazing ideas of how the animals of the world could have come into existence – WITHOUT a god.
SCIENTIST 3: Yes, so quite frankly, we don’t need room for a god anymore.
CELEST: Are you serious? You think all this could, what, make itself?
DARWIN: Give it long enough... Why not! It’s like…. It’s like… what did you call it?
SCIENTIST 2: Evolution?
CELEST: More like CONvolution. I’m sorry. I’m not meant to emotionally connect with you, but…. that is just crazy, and incredibly disrespectful.
SCIENTIST 2: Oh really?
CELEST: Yes, have you even seen how complex microbiology
is. [sigh] just breathe, Celest.

SOLDIER 2: You want questions? What are we even doing here! What is the point of all this death. What is the point of it all?
SOLDIER 1: What do you want to ask, and tell your superior?
NEVAEH: Well…. I just needed to ask if you have room for God in your life?
SOLDIER 1: GOD!!!!???? Where was God 10 minutes ago. Where was God as this war was just beginning? If there IS a God then I ain’t got no room for him.
SOLDIER 2: There is no room for God here. Only death.

NEVAEH: I’m sooo glad I was not born a human. So helpless.
CELEST: I wish we could help them more. I mean, it wouldn’t be hard for us to protect them from each other.
NEVAEH: Apparently we need to fully see what life is like when there’s no room for God. I’m so thankful God has a plan to stop it.
CELEST: Yeah, and hopefully soon. This is all very distressing!
NEVAEH: It could be soon, I’ve already got the request for our next assignment, and it’s only about 80 years from now…? 2024 or something.
CELEST: This is soon. I wonder if their world will have changed much in that short time? I mean they’ve invented airplanes and electricity, what else are they capable of inventing in only 80 more years?

NEVAEH: How’d you go?
CELEST: Same old. Hardly any take up.

CELEST: Well, God did say he was sending us to some of the toughest cases.
NEVAEH: Such a shame. If only they realised what God was really like, they would have dropped everything.
CELEST: I guess finding some was better than none. He really does love everyone, and was so delighted with the ones we DID find had room for God.
NEVAEH: Well, I guess we’re all done then…
CELEST: [stares out at audience] Not…. quite.
NEVAEH: What do you mean?
CELEST: What about them?? [points to audience]
NEVAEH: What, a bunch of school kids, sitting in a building out in a rainforest? They’re not on our list.
CELEST: Yeah, but why not. Surely there’s some in this large group willing to make room for God in their lives. It’d be great to report back we found some young ones with room.
NEVAEH: Well, I guess we have a couple of minutes before departure. But how are we going to speak to them all so quickly,
CELEST: We can just put a call out.
NEVAEH: But how will we hear their replies all at once.
CELEST: I’ll just ask them to stand for a moment, and we’ll be done.
NEVAEH: None of them will stand. Not in front of their friends.
CELEST: Yeah they will. If they have decided they have room for God in their life, they’ll stand. I guarantee it!
NEVAEH: Well, worth a shot. Just be quick. We have to get going!
CELEST: [to audience] Hello out there! Hey,
my friend and I were just wondering…
If any of you have room for God in your life, we’d love to be able to report
that back to God. Could I just ask quickly, would you mind stand for us, right
now, if you have room for God?
Wow!
NEVAEH: Quadruple WOW! That’s fantastic!
CELEST: Thanks everyone. Be seated. Can’t wait to report this back to God.
NEVAEH: But, not EVERYONE stood.
CELEST: Yeah, maybe they are a little distracted with some other stuff in their life right now. Hopefully those around them will pray for them. I have a feeling they’ll be just fine.
NEVAEH: You know, I think there’s one last thing we need to do.
[to audience] Round of applause for all our actoooooors this week!
