Acts chosen for KU’s annual Rock Chalk Revue variety show
LAWRENCE — Rock Chalk Revue, the variety show produced by University of Kansas students to benefit Douglas County United Way, has selected five skits for its 59th show scheduled March 6-8 at the Lied Center.
The Rock Chalk Revue advisory board announced the winners Nov. 19 at a ceremony at Liberty Hall in Lawrence. Winning groups and their skit titles are:
— “Snowed Inn,” Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity
— “Tune Town,” Chi Omega sorority and Beta Theta Pi fraternity
— “Singin’ in the City,” Pi Beta Phi sorority and Delta Upsilon fraternity
— “Flight of the Starquest,” Delta Delta Delta sorority and Theta Chi fraternity
— “A Write to Love,” Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Phi Kappa Psi fraternity
The revue is nationally recognized as one of the largest student-run philanthropies in the United States. Earlier this fall, Douglas County United Way officials recognized Rock Chalk Revue as a 2007 Campaign Star and a Pacesetter for its nearly 10 percent increase over 2006 in contributed funds and volunteer hours. Revue representatives formally presented a $33,000 check to United Way representatives Sept. 22 during the KU-Florida International University football game at Memorial Stadium.
KU students write and produce the annual satirical musical revue as well as fill leadership and fundraising roles and select a theme. The Rock Chalk Revue advisory board chose “Better Left Unsaid” as the 2008 show’s theme. Groups interested in performing in Rock Chalk Revue create scripts to interpret that theme, then submit synopsis notebooks and perform a five-to-seven-minute preview to a panel of judges. Judges selected five shows from 11 entries by fraternity and sorority organizations. For more information, visit the Rock Chalk Revue Web site.
The Rock Chalk Revue advisory board is comprised of 21 students and three advisers. Ann Eversole, assistant vice provost for Student Success, is staff adviser. Ruth Stoner, Student Success budget and personnel administrator, is business adviser. Rueben Perez, director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, is community service adviser.
