THE
DANGER
ZONE:
A Decision Dilemma
Drama
Written by Sam & Shelly Crystal. Performed
by the Bissell Family:
David, Kimberly, Victoria and
Alexander Bissell
Each of us deals with decision making every day. Sometimes,
however, we are faced with situations that are true dilemmas, and decision
making during these times is difficult. There isn’t always an easy way
out. How reassuring it is to know that in those times, God’s
love and grace can reach out to us and pull us through—especially when we
are willing to allow Him to touch us. Caprice is about to
discover this truth as she explores the Danger Zone. As the
secrets of her past and the mysteries of her future unfold, this gripping
and heart-wrenching drama moves each audience member in a unique way as the
plot progresses and the story reveals a dynamic twist, confronting Caprice
with a new way of seeing the sanctity of life.
