Wide variety of styles, participants contribute to annual Bearlesque show At the rise of the curtain it was evident that much time had been put in on the show. The second annual Bearlesque, the Northwest High School Fine Arts Depart- ment's variety show' was held in the auditorium May 6 and 7. The modern set, designed by jay Nicholson filled the stage and was accented by fountains and drops by Shawn Morse. The show opened with a dazzling array of color as the members of the Concert Choir, dressed in circus costumes invited the audience to Come Follow the Band. The program featured music from many different eras, beginning with the Andrew Sisters and carrying it through to Diana Ross. The show had 50 different acts, and involved both soloists and group numbers. During the two-night run of the show, en- thusiastic solo's came from Chris Stuever, who sang I Made it Through the Rain, Andy Tade, who did a number cmphaisizing the bad effects on going to the dentist in The Painless Deutzkfs Song. Shawn Morse sang a song that dealt with all the hanky panky of the 2O's, And All That jazz and Kenny Evans and Carla Blue added to the evening with their solos, Dog: in the Yard and After You. The M.C.'s for the evening were Becky Marshall, john Bud Thornton, Matt Flesher, and Mark Zonnefeld who did com- edy routines making fun of all kinds of peo- ple including Noah and his Ark.
