Every semester, I’m lucky enough to be able to put on a sketch comedy show with my family away from family, Ubiquitous They. Last semester, our show titled “UT Presents: Living in Garbage” was a huge success and featured something a little different: a video sketch!<\/p>\n

Fellow senior Michelle Leatherby wrote a sketch titled “The Real Oregon Trail” and it’s exactly what it sounds like. The script features some colorful characters making the trek out west with one twist: it’s a reality show. So the cast and the camera crew hiked out to China Lake Park and got shooting, costumed and all. Here’s some photos from filming!<\/p>\n

After filming, we recovered\u00a0from our freezing toes and wet dress hems with some well deserved Shakabrah breakfast. Michelle and I worked on editing the video with the help of Elliot Ash’s incredible narration, producing this funny final product. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
