| Why lie and entice other people to waste their time reading this? There is no redeeming value and it should definitely not be performed in church or any place else. |

| More of a testimony than a script. Would be very difficult to stage. Could possibly be adapted as a monologue, live action, for adult audiences. |

| wouldn't call this existentialism (not sure who would seek that viewpoint for a Christian setting anyway), it's just odd and inaccessible. you might pull it off for adults, but many professional actresses couldn't even handle this monologue and keep it interesting. it's very unlikely you'd find that caliber of talent within a volunteer group. |

| Actually I don't see where this is appropriate for 3 to 9 yr olds at all. Too long a single dialoge, the kis would be gone in the 4th sentance, and content not suitable. I am worried |

| There is something familiar about the 2nd half of this. One of our parishioners performed the part of the Granny flawlessly, right down to how her puppet tilted the Ensure. Our munchkins got a restless, but the adults loved it! I see this is the abridged version. Any way to access the unexpurgated script for our puppet-a-thon in June? |

| This is not appropriate for the 3-9 age group, and it is unnecessarily offensive. Also, it seemed like she lived at least two different lives, the Mormon one and then the abusive childhood one. The idea of Grandma talking from the nursing home in a stream-of-consciousness style to an older age group is a good one, but this needs work. |

| Do you really think 3-9 year olds know what an ensure TM is, or get it. Will they sit still for the extended monologue - will an adult?? I don't like the disrespect for the elderly that is shown in this script, let alone its dubious messages. |

| This script is the most cruely mean thing I've read and is insulting to old people. (get me my ensure) and the smell of a dead person at the end. I can't believe it is considered a puppet script. Maybe a spam email, but this could never be performed. Is this a JOKE? If it is, it is a sick one. |

| Pages of diatribe suggest to me that this is not seriously meant to be performed.
The way you follow comments on the existence of God with bowel movements is offensive.
I almost suspect that you actually intend to portray Christianity as archaic, irrelevant, boring and crippled. |

| 1.That was really long. 2.Is that a script or a stream of consciousness essay on the finer points of righteous living and Biblical exposition? 3. Should we teach three year olds about the dangers of drugs and porno films? Maybe not an appropriate skit. I agree with the others. |

| The skit covers a lot of interesting topics, and the message of the hope and freedom that Jesus brings needs to be told. But some of the issues mentioned (drinking, drugs, abuse, porno films) are innappropriate for kids 3-9 years. The part about abuse would scare them. That's a long time for a puppeteer's arm to be up, even if she had an arm rest. |

| Sooner or later, children will learn that life is very often a series of disappointments and unfulfilled dreams, punctuated by brief moments of empty pleasure. This play lessens the blow. Thanks P2P. |

I think this would be good to try out at a battered women's shelter or an AA meeting or something. |
