Jack's Journey: A One Act Play

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating his Christmas pie, when along came a spider and sat down beside him and asked, “What makes you a good boy?” This question sends Jack on a journey through Nursery Rhyme Land to learn what it means to be good. Along the way he will cross paths with many familiar characters, and hear their ideas of what it means to be good. It is only when he meets Mother Goose herself that he learns the frightening truth from Romans 3:10 – 12, “As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who do good, no not one.” (NKJV) What is a boy to do when his main desire in life seems unattainable? Jack’s Journey is a one act play that is simple to stage and can be performed by Children’s, Youth, or adult groups or a combination of all three. Running time is approx. 50 minutes
