Summary: A successful executive wonders why "Ol' Dad" never gets the recognition he deserves, then ends by remembering some of the lessons taught by his dad.

Style: Dramatic. Duration: 10min

Summary: God’s Court is a Halloween play or a fall festival play. The plot and characters in God’s Court were suggested by the young teens I had Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. So they represent what sins they were most aware of and concerned with. I wrote the story and we refined it together. The shadow figure was played by the smallest child at their suggestion. The character has no lines. Costumes are optional for everyone but the shadow figure. Her costume was a dark drape with eyes cut out. She was both spooky and added comic relief.
