A worthy successor to Martha’s popular These Truths Are Made for Walking. Again, these sketches are a bit longer than her original format, and each has a strong central message.

Walk a Mile in His Truths: More Comedy Sketches on Walking the Truth

Here is another Bolton collection of dramatic sketches that pullout all the humor stops. Each looks at some phase of church life with its funny bone fully exposed. The situations, whether in dialogue or monologue, will cause audience members to exclaim, ’Isn’t that so!’ Subject matter covers all the human side of church life; from the mad dash to get there on time to feelings of culinary inferiority at a potluck dinner. The 12 scripts need few props and no scenery.

A View From the Pew: Sketches and Monologues About Church Life

Lillenas Publishing

(Lillenas Publications). Most nativity plays or musicals are rather straightforward and humorless not so with this tender and humorous full-length Christmas Nativity script. Noted humorist Martha Bolton takes the age-old Christmas story and introduces some genuine characters like the two innkeepers' wives who vie for customers with their "vacancy" and "no vacancy" signs. Music by Bill Wolaver matches Martha's lyrics to a tee. The tee can stand for "townspeople" who make up a chorus and have speaking lines. Also includes five holiday-Christmas sketches: "The Scrooge Patrol," "The Sweatshop," "Tree Top," "Shopper Stopper," and "I Did It All Myself." This 45-minute presentation makes a great choice for church services, dinner theatre, or entertainment for any kind of seasonal event. Song contents: Bethlehem's Big Night * No One Special * No One Special (reprise) * You're Welcome Here * Right Here in Bethlehem * When You Make Room for Him * Jesus, Welcome to Your World * Finale (including "O Come All Ye Faithful" and a reprise of "Bethlehem's Big Night")
