A Fractured Parable is a contemporary, humorous retelling of one of the parables
of Jesus.
The parable is told by the narrator who may, or may not, be involved in the action.
As the parable is told, mimes portray the action, occasionally using props and suggested costume pieces. The mimes generally wear black slacks, black turtlenecks or black and white striped shirts with black suspenders, and white gloves to accent their hand motions. They do not need to wear the traditional “white face” of the mime genre. These Fractured Parables do not require any specific set.
A Fractured Parable provides a very memorable introduction, conclusion, or midway example for the pastor as he presents the church sermon. It gives your drama ministry a firsthand opportunity to link with the pastor to create a sermon illustration that will compliment any topical or expository sermon.
