Default HELP!!!!!

Ok heres the deal...


I have a friend www.freewebs.com/harleywillieandfriends who is a vent.. He is coming up to my place with his family for the weekend of clown week.. We are going to perform for the adult service of any church we can get thats close...

Heres the deal...

He has a routine where Willie... one of his characters is singing the song "Potters Hands" and I will be making the sign language for the song in the back ground.. as he sings.. (silent for this part... i know not like a auguste but who cares).

After the song Willie talks about how we are all each are special and god created us the way we are so we can go out and use our talents and abiltes for the lord.

Then i use the Crystal Silk Cylinder to produce a paper banner that has a verse on it... (which i believe is the verse about talents)... then we are going to find someone who has a special talent... something odd... and have them come up on stage... (using the 3 question method...

"hi is that hair on your head?"

"Yes!"

"are those black shoes?"

"Ya..."

"is my nose red?"

"yes..."

"Would you like stand up?"

they always seem to be willing to stand... i guide them on stage by(on thier left side) grabing their wrist with my right hand and applying LIGHT pressure on their back of their elbow with my right two fingers...)

and we ask them to perform their amazing talent... with a big intro...


*ANNOUNCING THE ALMOST SOON TO BE NOT QUITE FAMOUS BRAIN*

look at him and wait for his responce... we dont say anything... we just wait for him to perform... he gets it eventually and starts his talent...

the rest we havent come up with yet... besides i want to incorporate the porfessors nightmare illusion in there as we all see each other as different, different races and out looks on life... but in gods eyes we are all the same and god loves us all the same...

What do you guys think about it so far... willie sings and has 20 songs he does... Harley can perform for hours alone but we need to incorporate some physical comedy in there....

check out www.clownministry.com they have skits and you may find one you can use.

One that we do that shows acceptance is one called Color blind [it's a published skit from "Just Clowning around".
It requires several clowns but you might can figure a way to do it with 2 or use audience participation. It's silent. Basically you come out separetly but willn't have anything to do with each other and you finnaly come to accept each other. pm me if you want details

One that one of my parent's wrote teaches sharing, but could be used for talents.

we use one of those birds puppets that is marionet [sp] style [two crossed sticks and wire to the head, an feet. Two clowns one is walk the bird around very well, one come up and begs to try it. #1 lets him walk it and of course #2 can't do it. After several attempts sits in a frustrated heep pouting. #1 tries one more time and this time he gets it. #1 is fairly the straight clown, with #2 doing most of the physical, comedy.

We're working on a show for the Assosiational mtg in Feb. and trying to get the music to go well with it. I've got and intro and I love it. It's a long one with allow us all to do a personal into as well and do our first skit.
