2 Scene opens with the Narrator poised on one side of the stage. Narrator: Once upon a time Adam: (Enters from back stage, in costume, concerned) Wait! Hang on. Not, Once upon a time. Narrator: Why not? It s classic! Nothing says, Great story! like Once upon a time. Adam: I know, but, that s the problem. It s a great way to start a fairy tale something make-believe you know, not real. Narrator: Oh, ok, I get it. Alright, I got it. Adam goes back behind the stage. Narrator: There once was a man named Adam: No, no, no. Not that one either. That one screams English class or limerick. Narrator: What s a limerick? Adam: Exactly! (Adam exits) Narrator: (A little frustrated) Alright. (Thinks for a moment) A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (Star Wars Music begins) Adam: (Yells from behind the curtain) Nooo. Narrator: (Sighs. Thinks for a moment. Looks at the audience and smiles) Ok. I think I got it. (With gusto like a circus announcer) Ladies and gentlemen! Children of all ages Adam: Seriously? Narrator: I was kidding. You ll love this next one. Adam: (Still standing there) Narrator: Go back stage trust me. (Clears throat) In the beginning (Looks over to where Adam usually pops out. Smiles as she/he looks back at her book, softy says to self) Nailed it. 2

3 In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth (dramatic pause) and light and dark and sky and land and air and seas and stars and moon and fish and animals and people and stuff. Pretty much everything you see, God created it! And, even things you don t see like microbes and cells and Adam: (Yells from back stage) I think they get the point. Narrator: Everything. So, life was perfect and everyone and everything was perfect. (Looks up. Gives a sigh of relief and smiles at the audience.) Adam: (Yells from back stage) It s not over. Turn the page. Narrator: (Unsure) Until? (Looks worried at the audience then back to the script) Until, one day when Adam and Eve went out for some dinner. (Says faintly) Dom dom dom (To Narrator) Hey. Narrator: (Concerned) Hello. You re doing a great job. Narrator: (Let s guard down and is flattered) Oh, thank you. That s so sweet. I sometimes (Gets interrupted by the Snake) Yeah, ok, have you seen Adam and Eve around here? Narrator: Yes, they re over there by the apples and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Thanks (walks off). Narrator: Wait. They shouldn t be there so close to the forbidden tree. Snake, could you remind them that it s the forbidden tree and I ll take care of it. Narrator: Wow, that was close. We had pears for breakfast. Let s do a fruit cocktail and add some lime and mint. Adam: Sounds like what we had yesterday; but, why not. I ll grab some peppermint from over there. 3

4 (Sneaks up) Hey, Eve. Hey. How s it going? Good. We re having fruit cocktail with lime and peppermint. Sounds delish. Oh, hey, the narrator wanted me to remind you that you are dangerously close to the most satisfying tasty tree in the entire garden. (Confused) Wait, which tree? The tastiest I m sorry, I mean the forbidden tree. I forgot that s what you all call it. Did God really tell you not to eat of it? (Eyeballing the tree) Yes. (With resolve) Yes, He did. God said You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it lest you die. Hmmm. Bummer. I guess you better obey; but, mmmm, when I ate from that gorgeous fruit, I never felt more alive. But, it s good that God wants to protect you. What do you mean? Well, God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. Really. Well, it does look good for food and, let s face it, we ve had fruit cocktail with lemon and mint several times this week. Adam: Lime. Whatever (plucks off a piece of fruit). Got the mint! (Looks at Adam. Takes a bite) Mmm (hands it to Adam). Adam: (Takes a bite) Mmm. Both grab their heads and look confused Together: What have we done? Look at each other, then themselves. Scream and run behind a tree. 4

5 Narrator: (Walks over) Snake, didn t you remind them not to eat of the forbidden tree? Yes, I did; but, they insisted on tasting it. Narrator: Adam? Eve? Are you ok? Adam and Eve poke their heads out from the bushes. Adam: Yes, we re fine. We re just a little busy. Narrator: Doing what? You didn t eat of the tree, did you? Adam: Well yeah (comes out with leaf clothes) Narrator: What? Why? The Snake said it would make us like God. Narrator: But, you were already like God. You were perfect and sinless and created in His image. How could you have become more like God than that. Well, when you put it that way, it makes sense; but, the Snake made a good point too. Narrator: I can t believe you took advice from a snake instead of obeying God, I mean, God created the snake so don t you think the Creator would know better than the one He created? Adam: Well, when you put it that way, it makes sense. Narrator: (Frustrated) I can t believe you two. You only had one rule! Adam: I know, I know. What should we do? Narrator: You need to tell God what happened and let Him know you are sorry for what you did. (Sneaking around, then walks in a circle around Adam and Eve) Or, you could hide behind that bush. A&E: (Look at each other and say simultaneously) See ya! 5

6 Narrator: (Frustrated) Snake!! Get Adam you two get out here now! Do you hear me. Adam! Eve! (Hears something. Stops and looks around) What was that? Adam: (Peeking out) Oh no. It s God! He s here for His evening walk! Narrator: God s here? How do I look? Is there anything in my teeth? Wait, what am I saying? He s going to be mad. What do we do? Narrator: You two get out here now and take responsibility for what you ve done. Guys? Grrr. I need to get back to my spot; but you two better do the right thing! (Walks a few steps looks back and grumbles under her breath) Get out here! (Goes back to podium and looks at script. Mumbling through the script) Got the mint mmm what have done (Back in narrator voice and posture) As Adam and Eve hide in the bushes like cowards they hear the voice of God calling as He walks through the Garden in the cool of the evening. God: (Voice only) Adam? Where are you? Adam: (Poking his head out from behind the bushes) I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was unclothed; and I hid myself. God: Who told you that you were unclothed? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you NOT to eat? Adam, Eve and Snake pop up from behind the bush, look at each other and say at the same time. Adam: She did it! He did it! Narrator: (Facepalms) The Narrator sent me. Narrator: What? No, I didn t well, I mean yeah, I sent you over there but it was to tell them NOT to eat from the tree! Ohhhh, you re good. You re gooooddd You just wait (picking up Bible) I know what happens to you. 6

7 God: You three run along. I ll deal with you in a bit. (To Narrator) Narrator Narrator: Yes, God? God: You know the way the story goes. You ve read your Bible. Why so troubled? Narrator: How did you do it? God: Create everything? Narrator: How did you have so much love for disobedient, selfish people that you would send your perfect Son, Jesus, to die in their place my place. God: I am Almighty God. I know all. I see all. I know the thoughts and hearts of every person. And in-spite of all of that. I see my children created in My image whom I love. Remember what John wrote? Narrator: Yes! That was the first verse I learned. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 God: Very good! So, the short answer is Narrator: LOVE. God: Right. Because I love you because I love every man, woman and child, I choose to show grace and mercy. I restored what was broken through the sacrifice of my one and only Son, Jesus. He was and is the only way I could be with my children again. That s why it is a free gift to all who will receive. I don t want anyone to perish. Narrator: I love that! I love you! Thank you, God for everything. God: Hey, That s what I do. Narrator: (Laughs, then, to the Audience) This isn t how Genesis chapter 3 usually ends; but it is the true story- The Genesis of Jesus. Lights out. 7
