The Pawn Shop
by Debra Bruch
(This is in two parts. One part should be near the beginning
of the worship service and the second part near the end.)
The Pawn Shop #1
5 people:
- Person #1
- Person #2
- The Pawnbroker
- Two people standing upstage
Needed:
Two people are standing upstage, facing the audience.
They don't say anything. Person #1 enters, dragging in Person #2. Person
#1 knocks on an imaginary door. The Pawnbroker enters and opens the
door. Person #1 says, "Is this the pawn shop?" The Pawnbroker
replies, "Yes, it is." Person #1 then wants to give him Person
#2. The Pawnbroker agrees, takes Person #2, and places him or her by
the others upstage. The Pawnbroker then writes out a receipt and gives
it to Person #1. Person #1 then leaves.
The Pawn Shop #2
Three people are standing upstage facing the audience.
Person #1 enters and knocks on an imaginary door. The Pawnbroker enters
and opens the door. Person #1 asks, "Is this the pawn shop?"
The Pawnbroker says yes. Person #1 gives the Pawnbroker a receipt and
tells him that he wants to redeem Person #2. The Pawnbroker then takes
Person #2 and gives him or her to Person #1. Person #1 and Person #2
then leave.
