PAUL: I am named Paul!
STORYTELLER 8: He was a follower of Jesus.
PAUL: I am a follower of Jesus!
STORYTELLER 7: He traveled all over the world.
PAUL: I travel all over the world!
STORYTELLER 8: He told people that Jesus was the Son of God.
PAUL: Hey, everybody, Jesus is the Son of God!
STORYTELLER 7: O.K., I think they get the point.
PAUL: O.K., they get the point!
(The STORYTELLERS give Paul a look.)
PAUL: Sorry.
STORYTELLER 8: Now there were some religious leaders who didn't like what Paul said about
Jesus.
RELIGIOUS (standing and pointing at PAUL) Boooo!
LEADERS:
STORYTELLER 7: In fact, they got so mad, they had him arrested and thrown into prison.
HIGH PRIEST: Bring on the prison!
(We hear a police siren as a group of CAST MEMBERS stand and form a line across the
stage, holding forearms to suggest the door or front wall of a prison cell. PAUL stands behind the
wall facing the audience as though locked in the cell. The two CAST MEMBERS directly in front
of PAUL, barring his way, are girls; and PAUL holds on to their arms as though they are the bars
of the cell door. The PRISON GUARD enters and stands to one side of the door holding a spear.)
STORYTELLER 8: The prison was strong. There was no hope of escape.
PAUL: It's hopeless. These bars are as thick as a young girl's arm.
STORYTELLER 7: Paul was locked away for a long, long time.
RELIGIOUS Two and half years!
LEADERS:
STORYTELLER 8: But all during that time, Paul told people about Jesus.
PAUL: (to the PRISON GUARD) Pssst! Hey—Mr. Guard.
PRISON GUARD: Who, me?
PAUL: Yeah. You want to hear something really wonderful?
(PAUL gestures the PRISON GUARD closer and whispers in his ear.)
