The Florence Welk Show
Perhaps you remember The Lawrence Welk Show - a cabaret of sorts that found its legs around 1955, was hosted by an accordion-playing German man, and whose targeted audience were those who would likely not appreciate anything contemporary. Well, THIS IS NOT THAT SHOW. Meet FLORENCE Welk - an entirely female-cast variety show featuring dancers, singers, comedy sketches, cheerleaders, and MODERN DAY MATERIAL... if, of course, we were currently living in the mid 90's.
What we're saying is, if the idea of a bunch of funny women performing to the sounds of Sophie B Hakwins, La Bouche, and Jock Jams entices you, if you've ever wondered about the alternatt, or if you just crave a little more "Spice" in your life, then THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU! We are totally buggin' out about this PHAT bomb show so bounce on over Home Skillet or forever talk to your own hand. Word!

This show will stick with just as long as the Mexican food keeping you up with indigestion in the first place. Written and performed by the GoU! Improv Academy sketch performance class directed by Chris Fortin.
