Good Sex Drama 24 Discussion-Starting Sketches on Teenage Sexuality and God

Hmm. Teenage sexuality and God--in dramatic-sketch from . . .Isn’t that a bit raw? Maybe too real? (And dare we say it . . . kinda risky?)With Good Sex Drama, you and your kids will enter the complex worlds of 16 very human, very flawed, very real characters--all loosely connected to each other--and journey with them over the course of 24 sketches as they wrestle intensely with sexual topics of perennial importance to students, including:Sexual temptation The results of sexual brokenness Technical virginity Pregnancy Sexually transmitted diseases Sexual abuse Alcohol and sex Sexual addiction When role models fail sexuallyJim Hancock, co-author of the widely acclaimed Youth Specialties curriculum Good Sex, is also a filmmaker/script writer/theater expert, and here he unearths amazingly real characters who overflow with depth, rib-tickling humor, devastating heartache, and--true to life--don’t resolve their issues by the end of the sketches.Each of the two-dozen dramas can stand alone--or you can use them in a series over several weeks. Some are short, subtle monologues. Some are volatile, intense dialogues between two or more characters. And each sketch ends with a healthy dose of discussion questions that’ll get your kids digging even deeper into the topics at hand.And even if your group isn’t into drama--or you’re just not the dramatic type--you’ll get all the help you’ll need to pull off unforgettable performances. That’s because Hancock provides an extensive introduction, offering tips on presenting the sketches, discussing them, stagecraft, what to do if you stir up trouble, and resources and referrals for help with sexual issues.So whether you’re a youth worker, associate pastor, Sunday school teacher, small group leader, CE director, or volunteer, Good Sex Drama will prove a unique, exciting, laugh-and-cry-as-you-learn resource that engages students and gets them examining their lives and their souls while trying on the personas of some unforgettable characters.
