Students’ variety show benefits senior class

‘Senior Night Live’ covers gamut of pop culture new and old

Sequim High’s seniors are back on stage and looking to make you laugh.

They host 16 sketches and song parody routines for four performances of their “Senior Night Live” at 7 p.m. Jan. 30-31 and Feb. 6 and 2 p.m. Feb. 7, at the Sequim High School Auditorium, 533 N. Sequim Ave.

Nineteen seniors along with nearly 30 underclassmen present popular songs and sketches like “Men in Tights,” and “Shoulder Angel” along with special renditions of today’s ladies of pop culture like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga to sketches from shows of today and yesterday.

Director Robin Hall said they’ve done some of the sketches in the past which remain a tradition like “Men in Tights” while they try to keep it fresh with new routines, too. The comedy variety show welcomes any students who want to participate, Hall said.

“Our last show (‘Charley’s Aunt’) had 10 kids in it, but this gives kids more opportunities and I cast them all,” she said.

“I’m hoping they all try out for ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ (the school’s spring operetta during the Irrigation Festival). We’ll do casting next month.” The show also parodies “The Hunger Games” with a special surprise guest.

In between sketches, videos will be shown, too. “Senior Night Live” serves as a benefit for the Sequim Class of 2015.

Hall said the show has raised as much as $5,000 for a senior class.

Seniors include Mikaele Baker, David Burgher, Falisha Dail, Bernadette Dalm, Dylan DePrati, Taylor Forderer, Maeve Harris, Ben Heintz, Sarah Isenberger, Emma LeBlanc, Selesha McKibbon, Sydney Negus, Kailee Price, Cheyenne Sokkappa, Katie Stevenson, Emily Van Dyken, Judi Villella, Cecilee Wech and Danny Willis.

Tickets are available at the door for $8 adults and $6 for seniors/students with ASB. For more information, call Hall at 460-7860.
