Were 'on the road again.'
The Road Show road again!
First performances were last night. It finishes up on Saturday evening.
Ward cast party is tonight, with the stake party the day after.
Road Shows are 'drama', literally in every sense of the word.
In the end, I think the good drama out-weighs the bad.
Here is what the local paper had to say:
Putting together a show with an original script, music, and choreography with almost 400 youth is quite an undertaking. Santa Margarita Mormon Road Show 2013 does just that. Asking each of the seven wards or congregations to write a 12-minute musical skit that teaches a moral is all part of the fun. Thursday, February 28th and Friday, March 1, 2013 at 7pm Road Show 2013 opens to the public free of charge at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 30522 Via Con Dios in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA.
Mormon Road Show 2013 has seven short 12-minute shows back to back for an evening of song and dance. Each musical skit tells a short humorous story with a message teaching the audience to be honest, get an education, share the gospel of Christ, or give service. Road Show 2013 is following the advice of the current LDS Prophet of the Church, Thomas S. Monson. He says, “I am an advocate for such events. They enable our youth to participate in something they truly find unforgettable.”
Crystal Hicken, Head Road Show Director, explains, “Unlike a traditional show there are no auditions. All you have to do is show up and we have a place for you.” Pat Brokaw, Santa Margarita’s Stake Young Men’s President, explains, “Each ward has only about 10-11 rehearsals to get everything ready before show time. The number one reason we are doing this is for the kids and they absolutely love it. It is strengthening our youth and teaching them to be better people.”
Road Shows are all part of the Mormon tradition. As Mrs. Hicken says, “Road shows unite youth, leaders, and congregations. At the very end of road show, you’re going to see a big smile on everybody’s face.”
