Varsity Revue 2019!

Lights, camera, action! Combining both satire and entertainment, another amazing Varsity Revue performance took place on Saturday, January 26th, in Wheatley’s auditorium. In what has become an annual tradition, the class of 2019 rose to the occasion with funny skits, dances, and performances.

As the auditorium began to fill up, there was a definite sense of excitement that filled the room. At 7:30pm, the lights went down, and the two hosts, Ciara O’Brien and Grace McPhillips, came to the podium to start the highly anticipated event. Keeping the audience engaged through the whole show, they made references that ranged from airpod memes to Wheatley’s very own inside jokes. The famous Instagram egg even made an appearance. It was pretty eggsquisite, if you ask me! The crowd thought it was eggcellent too. The main acts performed as follows:

1) Make it a Great Day Speech

Johnnie Scudero took the audience back to their North Side memories reminiscing on Mrs. Rose’s classic lessons on dirt making our lunch. He ended his monologue with the iconic, “Make it a great day… or not, the choice is yours.”

2) Wheatley Gym

This performance featured the winner of the most eminent award at Wheatley, the gym student of the year award, Matt Kreitzer. The rigor of Physical Education, as well as the students’ enthusiasm, was on full display.

3) Spanish Teachers Over the Years

Each Spanish teacher has their distinct teaching methods at Wheatley. Whether it’s Principe with her bell, chancla, and power, or it’s Martinez, who is always energetic no matter what time of day it is, this act had the audience laughing hysterically.

4) KPOP Dance

Participants: Kenton Wu, Amanda Kim, Kristen Leong, and Amanda Kim
