In the Spirit of Things As Christmas approached, Varsity Choir presented their annual Dinner The- atre. The theme was Santa's Work- shop. and the foyer of the cafeteria was decorated like the North Pole and Santais workshop. The cafeteria itself was el- egantly decorated with Christmas wreaths. red bows and candle light. Before the entertainment, a large crowd was treated to dinner that was served by the choir members. The menu included chicken kiev, hot rolls and mys- tery pie. The food was-just a beginning to an exciting evening. With seventeen solos and special se- lections, Dinner Theatre was a hit. HToo Darned Hoti' was performed by the voice class with added choreography. The Var- sity Choir performed Surfing in the USA in jams and T-shirts with dance choreography. As they sang HYellow Pol- ka-Dot Bikini, they tossed bikinis to the crowd. and a special visitor, Santa Claus, appeared as they sang HThe Night Before Christmasf' Every song was a high point and received applause of appreciation from the audience. The success of the evening wasn't without hard work. Practicing, preparing and decorating is a part of Dinner The- ' l Santa S Workshop ater. Mr. Kenneth Cox, students and par- ents worked from Monday through Sat- urday nights putting the program together. Most nights they worked from seven until midnight. HPractices are a killer, but we have to have them to be good. This year we had to unload citrus fruit after one practice and didnit get home until after one in the morningf, said Melissa Lankford. Several incidents during the week pro- vided an outlet for tensions. Richard Ste- venson sang a song with a line about a laying a finger alongside the nose. ln- stead of the expected gesture, he stuck his linger inside his nose. It brought a louder response than most numbers. Then the night of the performance, Mr. Cox forgot to direct the song for in- termission. By the time anyone realized what had happened, the incident became funny. ,Iason Wall gave a performance of his own on how to gracefully melt down a flight of steps. Thank goodness he wasn't hurt, but if he decides to market the act, he would have it down pat. The only thing about the performance that puzzled eve- ryone was Trey Rustmannis Aggie joke. No one could figure it out. Talented instrumentalists added to the Dinner The- atre program. Playing guitars is David Smith and Todd llall while David sings Hysleria. Practice made perfect for a popular medley, Surfin' USA, performed by the Varsity Choir. 18 Dinner Theatre
