The Dramatic Dialogue is one of most difficult of the range of Platform events, and currently it seems to be the most difficult to find scripts for. There will be a selection of scripts in the upcoming publication of collected scripts by Isabel Worboys, and I have added the category to my script creation agenda. So far we have:
Come to Jesus―Why?
A new believer tries to share his newfound happiness and discovers his non-Christian friend has more happiness than he knows what to do with. Confronting the modern gospel of “God has a wonderful plan for your life” with the question, “Should we come to Jesus for happiness, or righteousness?” this dialogue is written for 2 male actors but can be easily altered to fit any casting arrangement.

"Come to Jesus―Why?" is from “The Way of the Master” TV series, used by permission. Watch Hollywood actor Kirk Cameron and his friend Todd Friel perform the original version on “The Way of the Master” Episode 14, titled “God’s Wonderful Plan”. Buy the Private Screening DVD available from www.WayOfTheMaster.com or any of the international agencies of The Way of the Master, or watch the episode online by clicking the “get equipped/view video lessons” tab on the website.
Home and Dry
A woman neglects to give the Gospel to a sinister-looking hitchhiker and God gives her another chance. A dialogue for one male and one female featuring great costuming, warm characters, witty dialogue, and a clear confrontation of sin.
Characters:
· Mrs. Hilary Cook, a Derbyshire dentist, is driving to visit her mother. She wears a suit jacket with an easily-accessible inner pocket which contains several gospel tracts.
· Ashley, a sinister-looking young hitch-hiker, has long hair and a beard (both removable), and his slovenly, bulky clothing looks very bedraggled. He wears a neat suit and tie hidden underneath.
The Premise of Duality
A fast-paced, intellectual debate between an atheistic Professor of Philosophy and a Christian student on the topic of whether you can prove God’s existence. Calculated to have your audience sitting on the edge of their seats and chuckling with glee. The characters are not gender-specific, so casting for this script is flexible.
The What-Woulda-Happened Room
A lively script with loads of comedy and mime, the fun and fast-paced action suddenly confronts with the convicting message that even good people can’t get into Heaven if they haven’t made the choice to follow Jesus. The characters, Angel and Dude, are not gender-specific, so casting for this script is flexible.

Here are some other ideas.
Life Cycle
Willow Creek Resources have 4 volumes of dramatic sketches available through Zondervan Publishing House. Their third volume of "Sunday Morning Live" contains a dialogue titled "Life Cycle" which fits our Convention Guidelines. The sketch introduction gives the following information:
Linda and Ann, strangers next to each other on exercise bikes at a gym, discover they have something in common. Both are worn-out moms looking for any excuse to get out of the house. Almost by accident, Linda tells Ann she's in a Bible study group. Although she is self-conscious as she talks more about her faith, an affinity grows between the women. Ann must leave, but after she's gone, Linda 'pedals faster' as she realizes the significance of her stumbling but sincere attempt to have a spiritually meaningful conversation with a non-Christian.
Themes: witnessing, making a difference, beginning new friendships
Characters:
Linda, a likeable mom with kids at home but inexperienced at talking with non-Christians about spiritual questions
Ann, also a likeable mom; inexperienced at talking to Christians
Props: two exercise bikes
ISBN 0-310-61441-4
A demonstration video is also available.
So Would You Say You're A Good Person?
Take a witnessing conversation in the style of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, featured regularly in The Way of the Master television and radio series and DVDs, and other Ray Comfort audio material and books. Some of these are available for free download at
