Question:
Do I need permission to perform these scripts?

Answer:
No. If it would make you feel better to have my permission,
here it is: You have my permission, signed Bob Snook.
There, doesn't that feel a lot better now?
Those of you who have been ruthlessly and callously
performing my scripts all these years without permission,
all is forgiven.

Question:
Do I have any obligations regarding performances?

Answer:
No. You don't have to notify me of performances.
You don't have to reveal my name to your audience.
Your only obligation is to maintain the copyright
information at the bottom of all script copies.

Question:
How do I find a script on a specific subject?

Answer:
At the top of the page is an alphabet of key word indexes.
Click on the letter for the subject you are interested in.
For example, Parable of the Talents: click on P or T
All the scripts containing Parable are listed in the P's.
All the scripts containing Talents are listed in the T's.

Question:
What are those numbers on top of all the scripts?

Answer:
They tell you the run time and the sex of the actors.
Example: 6'2m3f
6' = approximate run time is 6 minutes.
2m3f = the cast is 2 males and 3 females.
Example: 4'2m?f
4' = approximate run time is 4 minutes.
2m?f = the play was written for 2 males, but, one or
more parts could be females with little or no rewrite.
Note: *' indicates that the script's run time is
longer than nine minutes. There are 5 full-length plays.

translations already exist.

Question:
Who are you? And why aren't you taking your medication?

Answer:
I'm Bob Snook. I'm 64 y/o, married, two adult children.
My home church is Saddleback Church, America's second
largest protestant church and the largest baptist church.
I did almost nothing with my writing talent until I
became a Christian twenty years ago. (short testimony)
For the last 12 years I have worked as a security guard
on the graveyard shift. This allows me to write Christian
scripts and web pages 7 1/2 hours per day and get paid
for it. That's why my scripts are free.
By the way, did I mention that these scripts are free?
