The Upper Room Mix-Up - Short Skits for Easter Sunday

The Upper Room Mix-Up is a 5-minute comedy skit set just before the Last Supper. The disciples try to “host” the moment like an event—arguing about seating, food, and decorations—while missing the sacred weight of what’s about to happen. Jesus enters with calm authority, gently redirecting the chaos into meaning: the bread and cup are not party details—they are the message of love and forgiveness.

THEME

Even in confusion and chaos, Jesus invites people into grace, purpose, and forgiveness.
