The stage was
set. Two weeks of preparations had led up to this show. This was
Thursday Night Live. |
 |
|
 |
Before the show started, Kali
gave all performers a pep-talk, telling them to, above all, have fun. |
|
The whole camp filed eagerly into
the theater, escaping the rain. |
 |
|
 |
Dave, the performing arts
coordinator, came on stage to welcome everyone to the show and to kick it
off by introducing the hosts... |
|
...Matthew and
Abby. |
 |
|
 |
First up was a Barbie Fashion
show, hosted by Nat Barbie. |
|
Each of the
Barbies came out. |
 
  |
|
 |
Though sports
Barbie nearly took my head off. |
|
The winner was determined by a
game of full-body Ro-Sham-Bo (Rock, Paper, Scissors). |
 |
|
 |
Finalists were the default, due
to loss of limbs. |
|
In the next 'What if...?' skit,
the question "What if you had to have an American accent to work at Campus
Kids?" was posed. Internationals came on stage and spoke like
Americans, to the shock and amusement of the audience. |
 |
|
  |
That was followed by the girl's
choir singing 'Seasons of Love' from Rent, accompanied by Dave on piano. |
|
Next was "A Dance featuring the
Ladies of Campus Kids". |
  |
|
   |
That was followed by a parody of
the parody 'More Cowbell'. |
|
...which went over the heads of
many campers, but amused many SNL fans. |
 |
|
 |
For the next skit, Jack and Matt
were called up to, essentially, play the drama game 'party guests'.
Jack, however, got the better of the actors when, after a girl came out
chatting on a phone, he guessed her to be a "typical American teenage girl." |
|
Following that was an original
skit written by Isabel T. and Bryce D. which imagined that animals could
talk. |
  |
|
 |
In a "Dance for Boys" several
counselors did a peppy march to the theme song from 'Robin Hood: Men in
Tights." |
|
It turned out
to be co-ed. |
 |
    |
Campus Kids seems to love Bon
Jovi (though Jeremy suggested a no-Bon-Jovi rule for Campstock) and in that
tradition, Matt, Josh, Ste and Dave played 'Shot Through The Heart'. |
|
Mike and Doug introduced and
commentated on the next act, which was the Obscure Sports Olympics. |
 |
|
  |
There was
dwarf-tossing. |
|
Tire racing. |
 |
|
 |
Skateshoe
competitions. |
|
And the five-yard dash. An
interesting fact provided by Mike: "Villani once competed in this sport, but
upon starting, tripped on the starting line, and fell across the finishing
line. |
  |
|
And there was
skiing. |
|
 |
In the end, Adam was crowned
champion, and promptly hugged his dwarf. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The final skit of the night
personified staff members as birds. I won't tell you which is which,
but some of them should be relatively easy to guess. |
 |
|
 
 |
|
|
|
|
And after performing his public
service, Stu told the audience to give on last round of applause for
the entire cast. |
