Penguins give huge audience the happy bird ‘Birds of a Feather Flocked Together, as did the audience, when huge crowds attended the annual Penguin Show. May 10-12. Proverbs and sayings, the theme of this year's show provided for a wide variety of numbers. The all senior introduction, Lettuce Entertain You,” written by Penguin head Stacy Fleisher, started the show out on a good splash. In X Marks the Spot,” written by Judy Schiller and Debbie Sickle, Junior Penguins helped to make everyone feel at sea. Leprechauns and Witches also made their grand appearances. Different Strokes for Different Folks, choreographed by Diane Dombeck, Jani Osterman and Jacqui Melkerson, was enjoyed by all, as the girls stroked the entire number. Helium balloons enchanted the audience in The Sky’s the Limit,” a floating number. An original number choreographed by Nancy Jacobson, Cathy Goldgehn, and Sara Rosenfeld, was totally under water, leaving the audience mystified. Prisoners stole the show in Crime Doesn’t Pay,” an amazing twelve person back dolphin chain gang, written by Marci Arnheim, Wendy Frey, and Ellen Novak. Three hilarious puppets did a fine job entertaining everybody in the humorous trio, No Strings Attatched, written by Nancy Rodkin, Sara Rosenfeld, and Linda Rubin. The finale, put together by Amy Kriser, jr. Penguin head, “All’s Well That Ends Well,” held true, when entire flock joined together for an exciting close. Climaxing four years of penguins, Stacy Fleisher delights the audience with a solo. SENIOR PENGUIN: Row One: Nancy Ellis. Jill Mecklenberger. Debbie Mesirow, Nancy Jacobson, Betsy Rosen.

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
