The quality of the show is summed by the superb finale. After a small group kicked around the eternal What're we gonna do Saturday night? question, the rest of the cast joined them for the eloquent point made by the finale: it really doesn’t make any difference what you do, so long as you do it with good friends.

Space visitors report on a visit to Earth Graceful Nancy Rosenthal, junior, gives alien visitors a taste of Earth's culture. Close encounters of the third kind? Not exactly, but Out of this World, the annual Charis Show, dazzled on March 9 and 10. 50 plus dancers portrayed hillbillies and hobos, macho football stars, and top notch business executives, as they gave their Martian visitors a look at life on Earth. The show was based on a Martian visit to our Earth. 20 members made for a wide variety of dances, from tap to toe, modern to jazz, to the classic ballet. Music for the acts was taken from such groups as Earth, Wind, and Fire, Jackson Five, Dan Fogelberg, and the famous 40's star, Less Brown. Flanked by David Kahn and Rob Ross, donned in tux and tails. Ellen Shayman brought the crowd aroar with the annual President's number. In one of the more entertaining numbers, Peter Soboroff and Cindy Helfand tapped across the stage in clown costumes. A more classical ballet number featured Dawn Martin and Herman Moyano dancing to the theme from the film Romeo and Juliet. The heads of the club sparked the finale as they danced across the stage in starry leotards. The rest of the dancers followed to cap an entertaining evening. Production managers, seniors Debbie Hofman and Leslie Clark; and president Ellen Shayman enjoy a well-earned moment in the spot light. CHARIS SHOW 19
