Decorate the stage minimally for an Easter set. Place Easter flowers, baskets, ribbons or other decorative items, out of the way of the skit, but in strategic noticeable locations for the audience.
Assign a person or small team to be in charge of the props. Set up a props table for the small props to be placed on before the play. Lay a white piece of butcher paper on the props table and trace the outline of each prop on the paper. This way, when the props are laid on the table, each item has its place. When the skit is over, they are to be laid back on the table in their corresponding spaces. This ensures that no props get lost. Large props, such as cardboard trees or signs, should be set on the stage and put in appropriate position. Skits often offer prop position in the directions, if a skit does not, place it in the background or off to the side, depending on what the prop is.
Purchase a skit with an accompanying music CD. Music is not necessary when staging an Easter skit, but if you want to incorporate music in your skit, CDs often accompany skits and can be played at the beginning, during or directly after the skit. Purchasing skits with CDs takes the musical responsibility off of your shoulders. Stage the music system either behind the stage or to the side, depending on the location of the stage. If the stage is located within a church, use the church's musical equipment.
Choose appropriate costumes according to the type of Easter skit you are performing. Use costumes that are comfortable and breathable for the players.
Pass out scripts to each player. Skits usually do not need an entire rehearsal, due to how short they are, but it helps the players to at least have their own skit to read over. Have a cue person on hand who has written each line down on poster board with easy-to-read permanent markers of varying colors, corresponding to each character. The cue card person's job is to hold up the cue cards as the Easter skit moves along. Players can easily look over to the cue card, watching for their color and say their lines if they do not remember them.
Stage the characters in comfortable real-life positions, interacting with the props. If the skit uses two characters talking on a couch and you cannot use a real couch, use a prop of a cardboard couch in the background behind two characters standing in front of a couch or have them sitting on the floor in front of the cardboard couch. The characters should interact as much as comfortable with each other and the props, as if the props were real.
Purchase a rabbit to enhance the Easter skit. It will surprise the audience and add life, laughter and "aha" moments to the stage. Do not let the audience see the bunny beforehand, however, or it will spoil the fun. Stage the bunny's entrance in a special moment when it will be unexpected. Simply allow a character to walk on stage carrying it or let it out of its cage so it will hop into the correct direction, perhaps with a sign taped to his fur saying, "Hoppy Easter."
