Aloha Surfer Dude – The Son © Theme:
Part 2 of a 5 part series written to work with LifeWay‟s “Outrigger Island” VBS program. NOTE DramaShare is in no way connected with LifeWay, and these scripts were written at a DramaShare member‟s request, we did not see any LifeWay materials, (other than that which is open and visible on the LifeWay website). The emphasis of this, (part 2), drama is to show that Jesus is God‟s son, I can celebrate who he is. The “Aloha Surfer Dude” Al is a member of “SOS” – (Surfers on Sand), why? Because water is hard on his hair, why else? Al fumbles his way along and others try to help, usually unsuccessfully. Which makes for good fun, and actually there is a real, although silly, message. The other sketches in this series are: - Part 1 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Real One”. God is real, I can believe God is real, there is no other God - Part 3 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Way”. Jesus is the only way, I can confess him as my saviour. - Part 4 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Word”. The Bible is God‟s word, I can explore it's truth - Part 5 – “Aloha Surfer Dude – The Truth”. My actions show what I believe, I can stand for God‟s truth

both actors get set up, stand on boards Al:
Wow, looks good for surfin‟ today huh Zip?
Zip motions straight ahead with hands, both actors move as though surfing Al:
Wooohooo! Can you believe these waves Zip? I never did ask you Zip . . . what's with the name . . “Zip”?
Zip motions “moving quickly” Al:
I gotcha, a real speedy mover huh? Well for sure you are that! . . And a primo sand surfer to boot! Not much on talking are you, but hey, some folks say I talk enough for three or four surfers. But then . . . I am . . . the one and only . . . Al, the Aloha Surfer Dude!
Zip mimes bowing down to Al Al:
As you should bow down!
Lisa and Reagan come on stage, watch quietly as the surfers surf Al, look of fear: Hey look out! Here comes a big one! Al and Zip tumble to the floor, get back up, brush themselves off, mime drying themselves Al:
Whoooaaaa! . . Now that was a doozie!
Reagan:
Look guys, I have been standing here, watching, . . you guys are standing on solid sand . .
Al:
Shifting sand actually.
Reagan:
Like I say, . . .. solid sand . . and everything is quiet and still . ..
Al:
Quiet and still? . . . What color is the sky in your world dude?
Reagan:
Like I say . . quiet and still . .
Al:
Let‟s mount up Zip . .
Reagan, to Zip: Your name is Zip? . . . What's with a name like that? Aloha Surfer Dude- The Son © ©Copyright DramaShare® 2008

Zip motions “moving quickly” Reagan:
What's with that?
Al:
My friend Zip, he‟s telling you that his name is Zip „cause he moves so fast.
Reagan:
Do we get to see some fast moves anytime soon?
Al, to Zip:
Hey son, let‟s go show the sceptics what we can do!
Lisa:
You trying to tell us that Zip is your son?
Al, amazed:
Nooooooooo! . . He‟s not like my son, he is like. . my son!
Reagan:
So glad you cleared that one up.
Al:
You dudes are so uncool! . . let me try to enlighten you! . . To us surfer dudes like everyone is a son . . . but no one is a son, dig it?
Lisa:
Sorry, it's pretty much un-dug.
Al:
I can see that I gotta get way down to basic here . . . See, no one anywhere is anyone‟s son, OK?
Reagan:
Jesus is God‟s son.
Al:
Look, like that is just pure silly . . I mean like how can anyone be like God‟s son? . . Whoever told you that one?
Reagan:
The Bible.
Al:
You mean like folks actually read Bibles?
Reagan:
Everyday actually.
Al:
And the Bible said that Jesus is God‟s son?
Reagan:
For a fact it does.
Al:
Wow! . . I did not know that. . . (to Zip) . . Zip, did you know that Jesus was God‟s son?
Zip shrugs shoulders, hands upward, makes motion to indicate he didn’t know Al:
Zip didn‟t know either.
