and leaders were excel­ lent on stage, lighting was good and the sound was crystal clear. A packed Parish Hall


obviously enjoyed the en­ tertainment to the full and each sketch received generous applause. In the first half of the


show the song “Sisters,” performed by Trevor Wilson and Duncan Field­ ing brought the house down. They had every­ body laughing as they swanked across the stage rolling their hips and re­ vealing most unfeminine hairy legs while dressed in Marilyn Monroe garb. The sketch and song

the Ralph Reader classic “Crest of a wave” and it was a shame that the cast did not give an encore, for it was thoroughly de­ served. True to the Cub and
