4th of July: Family Problems

This skit was featured during week 2 of FCC's sermon series "Toxic" which dealt with how to handle toxic family members.

The skit was written in a brainstorming session with the drama team. Ben Van Meter and Allison Praisewater started arguing about their fourth of July plans. Ben insisted that parades were lame, while Allison vehemently argued that they weren't. As they bantered, I just started typing.

Sometimes, the best material falls right in your lap. The result was this skit, which is funny, but made funnier by the casting of Heidi Morrison opposite of sweet Allison. Kudos to Cindra, who directed a difficult skit with more moving parts than either of us expected.

Warning: Heidi's line: "You need to back off with your Clue hating. It's an intense game of logic and deduction" is delivered to perfectly that you might blow a gasket laughing. At least I did.
