Item Description...
Drama has power.It can awaken us. Make us curious. Reveal our inner desires and passions. Remind us of our foolishness. Drama has power in worship. It can snap us out of our Sunday morning (or Saturday night) trance. It can draw us into the story of Scripture. It can help us see our sin. It can motivate us to change. But drama can also be dull, predictable, guilt-inducing and just plain cheesy. How do we avoid the pitfalls and discover the power? Alison Siewert and her team of writers have some ideas about that. They offer in this handbook articles on every aspect of drama ministry--from why it's biblical to how to direct a performance, from warm-ups for actors to how to write your own sketches. You'll learn how to do drama that is simple and meaningful--without experienced actors. You'll learn how to craft drama with authenticity and excellence. Also included are cutting-edge sketches for the postmodern crowd that you can reproduce for your drama team and use in your ministry. Drama has power to change lives. Drama Team Handbook will show you how. |

Reviews - What do our customers think?
 | Very carasmatic but good Mar 24, 2008 |
| This book is different. i enjoy it, but struggle with the spirit led/ carasmatic apporach to ministry. | | |  | A core resource for our team Jan 20, 2005 |
I have relied on this handbook over the past 18 months as my husband and I started a drama team at our church. My knowledge of drama technique and skills is limited - but better than my knowledge about how to start a drama team! This handbook helped me to think through the purpose, mission, vision, logistics and other elements of forming a ministry. It also answered my first question, "where do I get good scripts?" Our ministry is off to a great start and I believe this handbook was a critical resource. I recommend it whole-heartedly.
My one regret is that the book does not contain drama games or activities - but there are other resources for that. As a ministry handbook it is very thorough and addresses great theological/philosophical questions for Christian actors as well. | | |  | A solid resource Jan 20, 2005 |
My wife and I direct our church's Drama Team, which puts on one 5-10 minute sketch every month, in support of the pastor's sermon. It's tough to find quality resources for Christian drama - sketches that raise key issues, but aren't preachy, advice on how to do quality drama with players of a wide variety of skill levels, and help in keeping the focus of the team on ministry rather than self-aggrandizement. The Drama Team Handbook is a key resource for us. We have read it through, and used parts of it with our team. Alison Siewert and her skilled team have put together a solid tool for anyone interested in quality drama, and especially for people producing Christian drama. And the handbook goes deeper still - probing the philosophy, theology, and theory behind drama.
The only thing that keeps me from giving it five stars is Siewert's sometimes breathless and over-emotional writing style, which is sometimes tedious to read. Otherwise, it's a great piece of work, and is highly recommended from this Drama Team leader. | | | Write your own review about Drama Team Handbook
