Noah's Ark - Love God, Love People - Nothing Else Matters

Welcome to the Ark! Script
(All of the passengers begin boarding the ship.)
Junie: Welcome to the ark! This is the finest ship Cypress Cruise Lines has to offer. Our crew members will take
your suitcases while you find a place to sit.
(Crew members put the suitcases off to the side of the stage as the Noah’s family and the animals find a place to sit.)
Junie: I’m your cruise director, Junie, and this is Captain Noah!
Noah: Hi, everyone! Welcome to the ark! I’d like to take this time to welcome some of the special guests joining us
today: Mr. [name an animal], Mrs. [name an animal], the [name an animal kids], and of course, my family.
(Everyone waves and greets each other, the animals make animal noises as greetings.)
Noah: I’d also like to give a quick shout-out to God for giving us the plans and materials to make the ark. Let’s hear
it! (clapping) We’re ready to leave the port. Our weather forecast indicates smooth sailing at first, but then there
seems to be some rain moving in. Junie . . .
Junie: Thanks, Captain Noah. Here at Cypress Cruise Lines we’ve tried to anticipate your every need. Please listen
as I read today’s menu. Our crew will be coming around to take your order and serve you shortly. Tonight we’ll be
serving . . .
(Junie reads the items from the menu, while the crew walks around handing out baskets of food. Junie then turns the
posterboard over to the ACTIVITIES side.)
Noah: I hope everyone has finished eating. It’s starting to rain—things could get rough!
Junie: (using the megaphone) May I have your attention! Due to inclement weather, the following activities have
just been cancelled . . .
(Junie reads the activities listed on the board, and then all of the people and animals make disappointed noises.)
Junie: Take heart—I’m sure this rain won’t last long. In the meantime, our crew has some towels and umbrellas to
hand out to make your stay more comfortable.
(Crew hands out towels and umbrellas. One crew member walks across the stage with the sign that says, “5 months
later.”)
Junie: Captain Noah, how much longer before we reach port? I know God is directing our course, but it stopped
raining quite some time ago. Everyone’s getting a little restless, and um, there’s a strange smell coming from
below.
(much grumbling and animals noises)
Noah: (into the megaphone) Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m pleased to inform you that we’ll be arriving in port shortly.
(much cheering and animal noises)
Junie: If you’d please line up, our crew will be happy to assist you with your baggage.
(Everyone lines up on stage as the rainbow is revealed. Everyone oohs and ahs.)
