A hospital room. A 2 a.m. phone call. A funeral. A moment when the pastor refused to gossip about a man who had hurt him. By the end, the interviewer realizes the candidate is no longer applying for a job — he is writing a reference letter. The pastor never appears on stage. The honor stays on the congregation's testimony of his character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTheme — A pastor's character is a sermon his people preach long after they leave the building.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull PDF script — fourteen scenes with shifting memory vignettes (15 min runtime)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast: 6–8 actors (Andrew, Ms. Cass, Young Andrew, Mrs. Hayes, Carl, Hospital Nurse, Dad on phone, Congregation voices)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-area staging: a sleek interview office stage right; a single-chair memory pool stage left\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Philippians 1:3 verse anchor — \"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBest for\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA visionary preacher with a big personality whose character deserves to be spotlighted without putting him on display.
