Drama I have been involved in Drama off and on all of my life. In high school I had leads in two plays: Einstein in "Arsenic and Old Lace" and Paul Sycamore in "You Can't Take It With You." I was involved in high school musical theater for four years as a member of the chorus and a small role in "The Music Man." As a youth pastor while in seminary, I frequently got kids involved in skits as well as other drama type excersises. It seemed that many of the group building and trust exercises that were being used in youth ministry during that time, I had mostly experienced in high school drama as cast building exercises. So when it became clear that Scobey United Methodist Church needed to do some kind of program on stewardship to reinforce our pledge drive to satisfy the annual conference requirements for salary assistance. It is no wonder that I encouraged our leaders to develop our stewardship campaign in the form of a dinner theater. Our first year we adapted Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol into our play, A Stewardship Dream. While I did not write A Stewardship Dream, I am proud that it developed under my leadership. It was written by the whole 1998 stewardship team of Scobey United Methodist Church with some borrowing from an unknown poet. Our second annual Stewardship Dinner Theater was to be styled after a cruise and from there someone came up with the idea of spoofing the TV show Giligan's Island. This time I took to writing the script. It was called Stewardship Isle.
