Thank you for sharing your story. I'm glad you were able to give a meaningful ending to the show even if it wasn't a part you wanted to play. I like the insert regarding the mashed potato salad. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Julie Lau
No! You could have done this so much better, here's how:
Leave the gunk on. With the spotlight on you, walk slowly between the rows, inviting the faithful to lick the blood off, going one better than the Easter ceremony when they pretend that red wine is the blood of Jesus. Yum yum!

Comment from Rachelle Allen
My first impulse just now was to write, "Oh! My!! G-d!!!" ...but I'm Jewish, and this is about Jesus, so, well, you get it.
Absolutely HILARIOUS vignette that, thanks to your writing prowess, I can picture so clearly and with every nuance and authentic detail, I could now swear I, too, was among the congregants...on Easter morning...in a country church filled to the rafters.
Anyway, awesome job, Dragonskulls. NO WAY this isn't the one in the winner's circle!!! Priceless.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is amusing and religious, a good combination. I wrote plays for our church and hitting that cue was always a challenge. Once I had to take someone else's place and I forgot the one line I wrote that the person was supposed to say. Finally got it out as I was leaving scene. Was your light man still your friend after you called him an idiot?

Lol. I didn't actually call him an idiot. That's what was going through my head. I was just making a gesture with my hands like, are you here? Get with the program. Lol
Thank you so much for the great review and big sixer, Carol. Yes, they can be tricky to work out perfectly some times. Haha. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you liked my little mishap. Have a great night.

Comment from judith layne jerdé
The title grab me right away! "Jesus missed his cue." It made me laugh and in the end everything worked out. Of course Jesus wouldn't have it any other way. Great story and best of luck with this and all of your writing in the future.

Comment from estory
I think it's a great little piece that speaks of the pressures of amatuer actors to take on epic roles like this, and also the harrows of stage management that can go awry, like this fake blood that just won't wash off in time for your appearance as the resurrected Christ. estory

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Cool story. Very well done.
How loud was the "You idiot?" comment?
Two songs later, again I don't remember the hymn, - (hymns)?
Good luck in the contest.

Lol. The idiot part was just going through my head at the time. I was just giving him the hands up and Duuhhh look. Ha.
I was meaning just the second song. I'll have to give that some thought.
Thank you for the great review and good luck wishes, Wayne. I'm glad you liked my little mishap. Have yourself a great day.

Love this well-told story and the honest feelings that come out. I'm glad you saw the humor in the situation and that everything worked out in the end. Jesus may have missed his cue, but he still saved the day.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from MissMerri
How entertaining and amusing this was! I thought your descriptions of what was happening during the performance were quite good and I didn't find anything at all in the whole piece that seemed to need correcting. You are a skillful and careful writer and I very much enjoyed this. I thought you were also rather creative in the way you "saved the show" even though Jesus missed his cue. Well done! MM

Comment from LyndaS
Well, geez, dude. I can't believe you don't have a sixer on this yet.
This story brings back memories of being in a Baptist church choir for years as a teenager and young adult. For the holidays we would put on productions called "Contatas". Lots of singing with periodic readings from different elders of the church. Boring as hell. We were not southern Baptists, therefore...boring as hell.
I thought it was very funny that you were chosen for the role of Jesus purely because you had long hair. And what did the elders of your church think about that? haha!
You managed to save the whole production, even though you couldn't wash fake blood off your body quickly enough. You must have gloried in that spotlight moment, chaotic as it was. Well done!!
BTW. I loved my church's pot luck dinners in the basement of the sanctuary. Those old widows could really cook! Thanks for that memory as well.
Best of luck in the contest. I think you got this.

I believe that's the first time anyone has ever called me 'dude' on here. Lol. I like it. Yeah, I was a little distraught that no one found it to be worth a six but what can you do? Haha
Thank you for the awesome review and fat sixer, Lynda. I'll admit, I haven't heard of Contatas but if there was a lot of singing, I'm sure you had fun with it even if it was boring here and there. Lol
Yes, that glowing moment was awesome. Haha. For everyone.
Pot luck dinners are indeed the best. I'm sorry yours were filled with old widows. What a bummer.
I'm glad this brought back some good memories, L. I hope you have a fantastic upcoming weekend and thank you so much again.
"Dude." Hilarious. Lol.
