Scripture:

Roman Road

Cast:

1A 6T: Captain/Host(ess) Pillage Pilfer, Pierre Purloin (French chef), Larceny Steal (Activities), Madam Sue Fortune (rich woman who owns the huge “hopeless” diamond), Rob Moore (dark, mysterious & guilty looking guest), Hugh Plunder (the other guilty looking guest).  All are guilty looking.  Also, an adult can play the part of the narrator or another teen, but should stand off to the side of the action of the skit and can read their part from a podium.

Plot:

The cast assembles and as they gather, they discuss their invitations and their destination.  A huge diamond has vanished, the “hopeless diamond.”  Stolen.  The members of the cast must find the culprit among them.  The director has the discretion to withhold the final outcome if desired from the cast, who announces the outcome.  There is also an opportunity for congregation/audience participation if desired.  

Running Time:

Approximately 15-20 minutes.

Set Design:

Contemporary.  Discretion of the director.  If a cruise ship is the destination then that would dictate the theme. If a ski lodge is the destination then that would be the theme.  Anything will work.

Props:

“Hopeless Diamond,” which can be a cheap plastic child’s toy

Costumes:

Yes, but modern clothing i.e. chef, wealthy lady etc. for added fun for the cast, can be asked to come up with their own costumes and makeup as they think the character would need.

Music:

None unless softly played background music is desired.
