Life is a Caberet!

This past Friday evening, CSUMC hosted our annual Caberet. Caberet is a showcase of the talent in our church and is somewhat a cross between a talent show and an old-fashioned variety show (Think Ed Sullivan in a church basement). It was a great night!

Acts this year included:
  • Extreme Makover with Tim and Kathy Welk
  • "Cabaret" by the Chancel Choir.
  • "Court Street Church" (to the tune of America from West Side Story) by the Lydia Circle.
  • Brahms Waltzes #15-17 performed by Julia Schade and Rob Kennan
  • "The Red Tie Club" presented by the Wednesday Night Men's Bible Group
  • Sonata Latino with Meeghan Dooley on Flute and Julia on piano.
  • "Historic Hoops" (a scary look back at the 1920's basket ball uniforms) by the Kennan family.
  • On a Clear Day, sung by nonagenarian Bob Bremnar who wrote his own verse to the song.
  • "The Candy Store" a skit by Rob Wandell and Kathleen Kennan
  • Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride presented by the Puppets For Christ Group.
  • Seventy-Six trombones as played on the saxaphone by Tim Welk.
  • Cristo Me Ama: A version of Jesus Loves me featuring the Chancel Choir, the Youth Choir, The Kids Choir, the Rejoice! Ensemble, and the Youth Orchestra.
  • The whole church did the Macarena together!
  • Bell Boogie performed by the Ju-Bell-ation bell ringers.
  • Chiquita Banana Song and Aba Daba Daba presented by Shirley Holley and assisted by Ryan Welk.
  • Cantar! by Rob and Julia.
  • Bali Hai from South Pacific performed as a saxaphone trio by Ryan and Tim Welk and Rob Wandell.
  • Manana presented by Marva and the Marionettes.
  • Palm Leaf Rag by Marie and Rob Kennan
  • The Staff Skit: Something's Happening at Court Street
  • THe Rippin' Knitters
  • Jamaican Farewell by Verlette Gorman, Gerry Kinch, Denny Campbell, and Rob
  • And to close it all out a rousing game of Name that tune!

WHAT A NIGHT!!!

Pictures will be posted soon on our website!
