Expectations Are High
"Without a doubt this year's Variety Show will be tremendous!" declared Davis Hall '64, student director. "We have a fine group of over 140 people working to make this V‑Show the best yet!"
Vicarious trips to England, Texas, France, and even Siberia will spotlight "Around the World," this year's theme for V‑Show. Among the 31 fabulous acts will be a percussion extravaganza and a rock 'n roll spectacular featuring Maine West's own guitar‑strumming folk singer, Jim Kahn '65.
"We hope to sell even more than the 3,000 tickets we distributed last year," revealed Paula Clayton '65, ticket chairman. Tickets for the show, which will begin promptly at 8 p.m., April 23rd, 24th, and 25th, are on sale in the bookstore and Maria Schaffer's Music Shop in downtown Des Plaines for $1.25 and $1.75. Every seat will be reserved.
"Although we are pleased with all of the acts, we are especially proud of our all‑star dance chorus," confided Betty Gano '64, V‑Show coordinator. Under the experienced direction of Linda Mahan '64, the chorus should be a tremendous success.
"Even if all the acts in V-Show were excellent, the presentation would be nothing without the help of our fine staff and the efforts of the Stagecrafters," admitted Davis Hall. "No small part of V‑Show's success will be due to the staff and scenery department, both of which are far superior to any we have ever had before."
