Cast of Characters:
God
Narrator
Lights
Narrator: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
(Lights up. God enters, moves his hand across the stage, creating the light.)
God: Let there be light.
Narrator: And there was light. God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. He called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
(Lights dim)
Narrator: And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
(Lights up. God enters again.)
God: Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.
Narrator: And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse.
(Lights dim)
Narrator: And it was so. And God called the expanse Heaven.
(Lights up. God enters again.)
God: Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.
Narrator: And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas.
(Lights dim)
Narrator: And God saw that it was good.
(Lights up. God enters again.)
God: Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed.
Narrator: And it was so. God made the plants and trees, and he saw that it was good.
(Lights dim)
Narrator: And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
(Lights up. God enters again.)
God: Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night.
Narrator: And it was so. God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.
(Lights dim)
Narrator: And God saw that it was good.
(Lights up. God enters again.)
God: Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.
Narrator: And it was so.
(Lights dim)
Narrator: And God saw that it was good.
(Lights up. God enters again.)
God: Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth.
Narrator: And it was so. And God saw that it was good.
(Lights dim)
Narrator: Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
(Lights up. God and the narrator leave the stage.)
Narrator: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
