WHAT
A mystery-comedy skit where two middle school “detectives” investigate the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. They interview shepherds, wise men, Roman officials, and an innkeeper — all of whom give dramatic, often exaggerated testimonies. The detectives must solve what’s rumor and what’s true.
THEME
The real Christmas story becomes clear when we look beyond confusion and listen to truth — Jesus’ birth brings light to the world.
WHO
-
Detective Casey – confident, dramatic, speaks like a crime investigator
-
Detective Riley – enthusiastic, easily distracted
-
Shepherd 1 – nervous witness
-
Shepherd 2 – overly dramatic
-
Innkeeper – stressed, sarcastic, overwhelmed
-
Wise Man – poetic over-talker
-
Roman Guard – serious, rule-obsessed
-
Optional: Extra townspeople or angels for small cameos
HOW
Short comedic interviews, exaggerated reactions, freeze-frame moments, quick transitions, and physical humor. Actors should move fast and speak like they’re in a detective show — but about Christmas.
PROPS
Notepad, oversized magnifying glass, badge stickers, shepherd staffs, toy crown, scroll, tiny gift box, “No Vacancy” sign.
TIME
5 minutes
