All In One Week Between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, just seven days passed. Yet in this scant space, Jesus was cheered, betrayed, tried, killed, buried, and ultimately, raised from the dead! So much happened…all in one week. All in One Week is an emotional and powerful experience, yet accessible and very do-able for any church or ministry. This drama/music package, complete with three original songs, can be performed as a single 35 minute Easter performance, or broken up into three smaller vignettes to be delivered at separate Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday services. Experience Holy week in a gripping and compelling way, from the perspective of five people who were forever changed by the Savior…all in one week. “Phenomenal!

What do I get when I order All in One Week? Great question. Not just a script. All in One Week is a three-disk script package that is created and designed to set you and your team up to win. Here’s what you’ll find on the three disks in this kit: Disk #1 – The DVD A complete video of the original staged production, to be used as a reference point for director and actors alike. Disk #2 – The Audio CD This performance is fully brought to life by the inclusion of 13 separate sound effects and audio beds, including the performance track for the original song, It is Finished.
Disk #3 – The Enhanced CD Pop this third disk into your computer to print off the script (complete with audio cues) and full music charts for all three original songs. Put it into a CD player to access demo tracks of the three songs.
All of this comes to you in a single three-disk DVD case. How long is the production of All in One Week? Performed straight through, All in One Week is about 35 minutes long. But this versatile production can also be broken into three different vignettes (each about 12 minutes long) for separate Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday services. How many actors and/or singers does All in One Week require? What about instrumentalists? All in One Week is scripted for five actors: 3 men, 1 woman, and 1 girl (age 7-12). Here’s the character list and descriptions:
Additionally, the production contains three original songs. These can be performed by a single vocalist or by separate vocalists. If your Narrator is a vocalist, the songs could also be performed by her. Instrumentally, All in One Week can be performed by a standard worship band (complete music charts have been included in the kit for this purpose). Additionally, one song, “It is Finished”, can be optionally performed to the performance track which has been included on the Audio CD. What is the story that is told in All in One Week? All in One Week tells the story of Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Morning from the unique perspective of five people that were forever changed by Jesus. While we never actually see the figure of Jesus himself, these five figures experience the events while Jesus is cheered on Palm Sunday, crucified on Good Friday, and, ultimately, rises on Easter Sunday. Biblically accurate in every detail, the story brings the events to life in a compelling and incredibly human way that is accessible for the modern viewer. To watch a video of the production for yourself, please click on the video link above. Is All in One Week hard to produce technically? Does it require an elaborate set, costumes, and equipment? Nope. As you’ll see in the video, All in One Week has a very minimalistic set. Costumes are likewise very accessible. Some lighting equipment enhances the production, but most of the technical enhancement comes from the Sound Effect beds and cues (which are all included with your three-disk kit) and can be executed easily with a CD player. After watching the video of All in One Week, I think the older kids in my children’s ministry or the students in my high school ministry would love it. But I might need to change a few little things. Is that okay? Absolutely. Once you purchase All in One Week, you are free to make whatever edits or changes to the script that you desire to set your production up for success. My goal is to set you up to win. Can I copy the disks that come with my kit? Permission to copy the disks to mount your own production (copying the demo tracks to give to vocalists, for example) is granted. No problem. However, sharing the disks with other churches or reproducing the content found on the disks for any other purpose is illegal and strictly prohibited. How do I open Disk 3? I put it in my computer, but all that comes up is the music. Help! Some of you self-proclaimed "computer challenged" folks have mentioned that when you put the enhanced CD in your computer, just the music pops up, not the script and other stuff too. It's all there, don't worry. There's just no graphical interface on the disk (all part of keeping production costs low so that your cost stays low too!), so you have to actually open the disk when you put it in. It's easy. Here's how: 1. Pop the disk in. 2. Close whatever pops up on the screen. Go to "My Computer" on your desktop and open it (double click). 3. Go to the D drive (or whichever drive your disk drive is) and RIGHT click. 4. Select OPEN from the popup menu. That will open the disk and pull up the complete contents of the disk. Serve and enjoy! What if I receive my All in One Week kit, and then I change my mind? Can I get a refund? Regrettably, no. Like any other book or DVD you would purchase at a store, all sales are final. So be sure you view the video and make sure that All in One Week will serve your needs before purchasing. How long will it take to receive my All in One Week production kit? We make every effort to ship your kit in the same week we receive your order. In most cases, it’s more like a day or two.
