Written by Dick Lentz

IT’S NOT TOO LATE is a Christian play inspired by the Columbine tragedy. It is a story of decisions people make about God. The list of characters for this play can be found below.

Characters (5 Male – 6 Female)

Mr. Brooks: The custodian of the school and narrator of the story. Not young, but not old. Friendly, kind, and wise. He loves the students and watches over them. He also tries to keep them pointed in the right direction. At the end of the play, he reveals that he is Jesus.

Lisa Caldwell. A student and a committed Christian.   She is confident and not afraid to share what she believes about God.   She is polite and a good listener. She is bold but not arrogant. She also has a good sense of humor and is well liked by the most of the students. But she occasionally goes too far when sharing her faith and ends up stepping on some people’s toes.

Judy Jones:    A student. Doesn’t dislike Lisa but is annoyed by Lisa’s religious views. As a consequence, she is uncomfortable around Lisa. Has a sour and somewhat cynical outlook on life. Uses lots of sarcasm. In the end, she realizes her need to take her relationship with Jesus seriously.

Katie Smith: A new student in school. She’s awkward and a little bit lost. She wants to make friends but doesn’t know quite how to fit in. Also wants to know how to deal with life’s questions. She is searching for answers and genuinely wants to hear what others have to say. She is drawn to the independent nature of Jason but attracted to Lisa’s sincerity at the same time.

Jason Holmes: A student. Independent, rebellious, and arrogant. A loner loaded with anger. He has rejected God. The path he now follows in life is his own. He has little tolerance for other points of view, especially from those who believe in God. He has an intense dislike for Mr. Brooks and Lisa Caldwell.

Ms. Hickock: The history teacher. She’s the substitute for the day and leads a lively discussion on the importance of history. She has a sense of humor but keeps the students on track in spite of some of their antics.

Mr. Fisk: The science teacher. His name sounds like ‘fish’ and he looks like one. He wears thick glasses that are taped on one side – the epitome of an adult nerd. He wears a suit but it looks like he slept in it. He speaks in a monotone, boring voice. But he’s totally convinced about what he teaches and is able to draw others into his world in spite of his appearance and mannerisms. He doesn’t like being interrupted in class even though he lets students present their point of view.

Ms. Beckett:   The philosophy teacher. She is a compassionate and sympathetic teacher. She is sincere in her desire to facilitate learning and promote genuine discussion.   She’s the type of teacher students would be prone to talk to outside of class. Able to communicate as well as listen. However, she will not avoid scolding those who get out of line. She too is a Christian

Crystal: A little ditzy but fun to be around. Likes everyone and is a friend of Judy’s.

Matthew: Friend of Mark’s. Along with Mark, he harasses Jason. Near the end of the play, he hears and responds to Lisa’s testimony about her relationship with God and the need to make a commitment to Him

Mark: Likes to give others a hard time. Likes to harass Jason. Could be the stranger dressed in black at the end of the play.
