Play in a Day

Here is the concept. The theme was "What Really Happened A Villain's side of the story. The Wards met on a Friday night and each group picked out of a hat the name of the movie they would be depicting. Our Ward got " The Little Mermaid", others were, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Hercules, and Beauty & the Beast. They had Friday night to brain storm and the director had that night to write a script and then from 10am to 10pm on Saturday they gathered all their props and rehearsed and practiced so that at 7pm they could perform their play for the Stake. At first my attitude was they have so much going on with the end of school and Girl's Camp certification that the Stake must be crazy...but as I got more and more involved and realized that this was a welcomed distraction from school and how much the kids enjoyed it. I humbly decided this was a good idea after all!

Throughtout the show Sierra as Chef Louie chases Sebastian trying to get some crab legs. That was a funny element of their performance as well.
"But you will taste so good with butter."
"You would not deprive me of my favorite dish, crab legs would you?"
"I must have you! You are so delicious!!"

The basis of the script is Ursula is telling the audience how Ariel needed some quick cash so she sold her voice on E-bay and Ursula won the bid and used the voice to get on the Idol show. Ariel discovers she can not tell Erik she loves him or talk to him on her new cell phone without a voice so she goes to Idol to get her voice back. Another of the performances on Idol are Ariel's Mersisters performing a water ballet. It was a big crowd pleaser!!

They did a ballet! Then they laid on their backs and there was a paper ocean in front of them folded down and they did water ballet movements with their feet in beat to the music! It was so funny!!

We got 2nd place! Our was easily the most understandable story... but the 1 that won 1st place had a duel scene with jumping and sword fighting kind of hard to beat a chorographed fight!
