This past weekend was my stake's Roadshow activity. Our stake does a 24-hour roadshow, which meant that the youth in each ward have 24 hours to learn and rehearse their own roadshow (8 minute skit which includes singing, dancing, and speaking parts). Then each ward preforms their roadshow on Saturday night. The 24 hours also includes making the set and costumes. We met at 5pm on Friday and practiced until 10pm, and then we were back bright and early at 8am Saturday morning and practiced all day until our preformance at 7pm that night.
I was one of three "roadshow specialists". We had been planning the roadshow for months and were so excited to get started. Here is a picture of what we handed out to the youth at their Tuesday night activity before the roadshow weekend to get them excited.
We also dressed up and acted out the roadshow for them!
Here is one of the dress rehearsals on Saturday.
A last minute rehearsal in the parking lot outside the stake center.
Hair and makeup.
Joran, Sara, and me. These are the amazing ladies I got to work with on the roadshow.
The youth. Our roadshow was Romeo and Juliet meet America's Best Dance Crew with a little West Side Story action and an 80's theme. It was a blast!
I was so proud of the youth and amazed at how hard they worked and how quickly they learned. It was so much fun to work with them!

Hah hah.. this looks awesome! :D
They still do the roadshow? What fun, I got all nostalgic looking at the pictures.
My ward doesn't even do enrichment activities and I don't have a calling... so a road show is out of the question. I am seriously seriously envious!
