Dowel rods???What are they?
I take it for granted that everyone knows what dowel rods are. Let me
back up....they are wooden sticks 3 feet long and 1/2 inch in
diameter. Usually painted flat white. They will not glow in the dark,
so you need to sew a sleeve or slip for it if you want to do a song in
blacklight...which by the way we make and offer on our website. It's
amazing how many images that you can do with the dowel rods. We have
many songs with dowel rods on our site. Just ask...we'll help you.

Easter Tips
Okay...not everyone is thrilled that Easter is coming so this year. I
just seems like you just got done with Christmas dramas and
bam!...Easter is already here. Well, relax...I've done all the work
for you. You don' have to turn the church into Jerusalem again. This
time you can choose something a lot simpler. A good mix of
interpretive sign, dowel rod, song interpretation, monologue will do
just as good. Believe me your Pastor will be elated that his platform
isn't torn up for two months. To get an idea of what I'm talking
about...just visit our site at howitiller.com/easter.htm. If you have
any questions you can email me at howitiller@aol.com or even call me
at 918-760-3561. If you haven't tried any of the above, you have a
great experience to look forward to. If you missed out on Easter this
year. These resources are available all year round and work any
time...not seasonal at all. Drama works any time and more and more
churches are finding that out.
Not sure which direction to go...I still have two weekends open to
come and help. It's all I do...a different city almost every weekend.

Morgan's Wedding Was Awesome
Well, after an incredibly busy December...I arrived home Christmas Eve
and jumped right into the final plans for my daughter's wedding.
Morgan's wedding was a winter wonder land. Artificial snow lined the
aisle and covered the platform. Over sized snow flakes and white sheer
fabric hovered above the bridal party as the couple exchanged vows,
rings and rings. Morgan majoring in Tech Music in college chose music
themes out of Gladiator. There wasn't a traditional song anywhere to
be heard. She was very, very beautiful if I say so myself. If you'd
like a very different wedding...Morgan is the one to hire to organize
your wedding. It was a wedding to remember.

Easter Drama Package
Easter comes early this year so don't wait too late to start. Maybe
your Pastor doesn't want to turn the platform into Jerusalem this
year...that's okay, we can help you design an anointed powerful Easter
Sunday through a compilation of dowel rods, sign langauge and
monologues. If you visit our site at www.howitiller.com/Easter.htm,
you'll see a variety of resources that can make that job easier. I'm
also available for a couple weekends in February and one in March if
you'd like for me to come and help. Just let me know. You can reach me
at howitiller@aol.com or by calling 918-760-3561.
Here are a list monologues that work well for Easter:
The Monologues are:
1. The Act - The woman caught in the act of adultery reflects back to
the day when she first met the Lord Jesus. The day she thought would
be her last, became her greatest. 8 minutes. There is a custom sound
track just for this monologue.
2. The Betrayal - Caiaphas reflects back to the moment when he was
visited by Judas and set up the moment when Judas betrayed the Lord
Jesus. Great for Easter or anytime. 9 minute
3. Obvious - There are many monologues about Calvary, but most are
from Mary's or Caiaphas' point of view. This one is from the
perspective of the man who begged for the body of the Lord, Joseph of
Arimethea. This isn't revealed to your audience until the last line.
Powerful stand alone monologue or to compliment a larger production.
5-6 minutes
4. Someday Came Today - This monologue is about the thief at the cross
who reached out to Jesus. We can hypothesize about his past, but what
a miraculous day for someone who didn't deserve it. Christ's love is
wonderfully shown in this event at Calvary. Even though the event is
historical, Howi brings a modern application through the breaking down
of just the one line that Jesus said to the thief. "Today, you will be
with me in Paradise." Never will those words have a fuller and more
relative meaning then when they come alive through this monologue.
5. The Thorns Have a Rose - Reader's theater in rhyme. A wonderful way
to add something moving and emotional to your Easter program. It is
divided in to two sections. The first section depicts the death of
Judas and the second section depicts the death of Christ. With the
right readers, this script can bring the audience to the very foot of
the cross. 2 Readers 6-7 minutes
Here are some DVD ideas:
The DVDs are: o DVD Volume 1 Has "Still Her Little Child" by Ray Boltz
o DVD Volume 2 Has "Redeemer" by Nicole C. Mullins and the popular,
"End of the Beginning" by David Phelps o CODE Indiana 07 Has "Let the
