this story is not original to me, but we do this skit in our ministry and the way we do is origional to us, or atleast I've never seen anyone do it like ours. So I thought I'd post to give you another idea or skit. We tried to up date ours into today's time.

Clown's needed 6 but can be done with smaller number, adding to costume for different charactures.

c1-victim, robber, Lawyer, business man, and wealthy woman, good samaritain.

props. I explain as I go..

C1 strolls like he's walking through the park, robber comes up and hits c1 on the head our victim drops to the floor but every time the robber tries to get the money he gets tickled and reacts, with the robber hitting him 3 times to knock him out.

Lawyer is first to come by and she's donned a jacket over her costume, carries briefcase and an oversized buisness card and on the back is $$$ signs. She sees the victim goes to his aid, shows him and the audience her card then flips it over and shows the $$$ signs, victim pulls out pockets to show he has no money, lawyer tosses card and exit stage.

next clown has donned a jacket and carries a cell phone, having a heated [silent] discussion walk all around and over and just out of reach of the victim, almost stepping on him, when he realizes that there's a guy on the floor, he just ignores him and walks off stage still on the phone.

Next clown has added a crown, big jewels to her costume comes out all high and mighty admireing her hair, jewels , fingers etc. nearly misses clown on ground, who tries to attract her attention. She of course makes a discussing gesture and runs off stage

Good samaritan comes out sees victim, dust him off and they exit together.

this is done as a silent skit, our victim, react with each person, with gesture and facial movements and with audience with each charcture that comes out. {hard to discribe actions, writing it, but it gets a good many laughs and I always ask the audience if they recognize it, and so far every one knows the story.
