Roadshows in a day
I don't know if this
will work for you, but for our Youth Conference this past summer we did
"Road shows In A Day". Our theme for Youth Conference was
"The Hero Within". We divided the youth into 4 groups and
each group was given a hero as the theme for
their production. They received their hero and a short synopsis of
why they were recognized as a hero after breakfast on Friday morning.
The groups each had a basic brainstorming session to see where they wanted
to go with their theme, what their storyline would be and then they broke
into two core groups. One group wrote the
script and adapted the songs they would use and planned the
choreography and their other group made the scenery. The
wards were each responsible to bring a list of basic things they could use
to make the props and scenery with, things like tape, markers, newspaper,
butcher paper, paint, yarn, rope, scraps of material, etc. The stake
supplied tables and chairs, brooms, large mattress boxes we obtained free
from a furniture company that the youth used to paint their scenery on.
They spent the morning writing and making the props. We used two
different buildings in our stake that are in the same city. We broke
for lunch at noon and fed them in both buildings and then they had
the afternoon to spend practicing their productions. Using the two
different buildings allowed them all to be able to use the stage for at
least half of their practice time. We had everyone meet back at the
stake center and fed them dinner and then they had an hour to make a
technical run through to work out lighting, etc. on the stage at the stake
center. The whole stake was invited to their performance. They
did a wonderful job! Every single group was so creative. Our
stake YM/YW music specialist had chosen the themes and kept them secret
until she passed them out that morning. The "heroes" were
not people that most people were familiar with, she made them really reach
to come up with their storylines. But that too was a good thing.
It made them grow, even though some of them weren't happy about it.
She really made them think. If they would have received Captain
Moroni or Esther or someone that they were familiar with they would not
have been near as creative as they had to be. Each production had to
have an opening act, 2 songs and 1 dance number. Kids we never
thought would participate did participate and had a great time doing it.
It was a wonderful part of our Youth Conference.
