Introducing:
"What Did You Expect?"
"What Did You Expect?"
a Davis 2nd Ward production
Starring:
All these people
A little background: To celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the Woodland, CA stake, each ward created a 15-minute production that revolved around the theme "Celebrate the Beginning" (because, of course, we were celebrating a beginning). I was originally asked to write the script, so I thought that my part in the roadshow was going to be over early. However, I ended up directing it as well to help out a fellow ward member with a heavy school schedule. I enjoyed directing because I got to work some really great people and learned to appreciate all the little things that go into a production (because I had to spend a lot of time working with the Drama Specialist to work out little details). I also played the role of a "Stroller Mama" in a number choreographed by the former captain of the UC Irvine hip hop team (pretty cool, huh?). Zac lent his vocal talents by playing the role of "Wrubell," the sports announcer. Even though neither of us expected to spend so much time working on the show, we both had a really great experience. I especially enjoyed getting to know some awesome people in our ward and making some new friends.
Anyway, I managed to get a copy of our performance so everyone could see it. I had to split the video into two because YouTube only allows videos less than ten minutes long, so don't forget to watch the second one. I hope you enjoy!
Oh, and the recording started a little late, so here are the first few lines that don't appear in the video:
Jim: Honey! I'm home!
Emma: How did your game go?
Jim: Great! I got another two home runs and a couple of plays at first base. There were a lot of scouts there, but I don't know if they liked me.
Emma: What do you mean? Scouts have been calling ever since the game ended, asking to talk to you. [Start video]
Everyone worked hard and I think they all had a great time.
