LIGHT COMEDY
Will Wordswiggle
Easter (Cast: 3)
How would Peter react on a talk show when confronted with the question: Who is Jesus? Although you might think he'd deny he ever knew the man (three times), in this witty piece we actually discover that he has a hard time convincing the host that Jesus really rose from the dead.
LIGHT COMEDY

Easter (Cast: 2)
A young couple living together that only goes to church on Easter debates going the week after.

DRAMA
Disbelief
Good Friday, Easter (Cast: 2)

A contemporary look at Simon Peter, "The Rock," who denied the Lord but found forgiveness.
