2.0 out of 5 stars I was a Fool, August 28, 2006

This review is from: The Gospel in Greasepaint: Creative Biblical Skits for Clowns, Mimes, and Other Fools for Christ (Paperback)

I looked into this book because I needed Christian material for a mime. The skits in this book are parables and stories from the Bible that are acted out with a narrator or at least 1 person talking. This may be all right for a program in a church setting. But a mime working at a festival is often working alone or with another mime. And a mime is expected to "Respect the WHITE". In other words a mime is never to talk while he/she is wearing the white makeup. The skits in this book were good, but were no help for what I needed and I felt misled by the title.
