Every other year in our church the youth ages 12-18 put on a 15 minute play with all the other church branches in our area and then on the same night, all the plays are put on. They are called Roadshows (because we travel to different church buildings to put them on). So for this years Roadshow the theme was "Books" and our brilliant Roadshow writer came up with GREEN EGGS AND HAMLET! Seriously, how cute is that?!?!??!!!
We kind of have an advantage though because in real life he (Ken Daurio) is a fabulous hollywood screenwriter! He's also the fab husband of my super fab amazing friend Michelle (luv you, Michelle).
The script is hysterical... the songs are brilliant... the whole thing is to die for. I'll post the script sometime and you'll see.
So, where do I come in on this? Well Dan and I were asked to do sets and costumes. SUPER CRAZY!!! The even crazier thing is that we are excited! We've done this for the last few Roadshows, but this time it feels different because our son, Patrick, will be in it, so we want it to be extra wonderful! Also, all our friends are in charge of the whole thing, so we want to help them out.
I will be keeping you posted on how things are going... the show is on February 24. YES!!! That soon!!! OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is super awesome... you really go all out! I remember being IN the roadshows for our ward many years ago and thought they were so much fun. This will be wonderful!
