Co-Emcee, Scott Schoengarth invites the audience to "Celebrate America!" with Wrinkles of Washington!, the Puget Sound‘s premier senior citizen entertainment troupe!  "We are a volunteer group that raises money for Senior Services for South Sound," said Scott, "and that means we are seniors helping seniors!"

"Now, let’s raise the curtain and see what the Prime Time Tappers have for us!"  Here come those high-stepping Prime Time Tappers with their routine to that country hit "If the Devil Danced (in Empty Pockets)!"  Who could follow that act, other than our dynamic duo, Bill Dergan and Joan Forst, singing "A Bushel in a Peck!

Bobbie Andreas treats us to that great tune "Georgia on My Mind."  Speaking of "country," here is Bill Johnson singing that old classic "Your Cheatin’ Heart", joined by the Country Dancers!

Enter Charleen Goodrich with a rousing delivery of "When Will I Be Loved", and then Frank Kinney strolls on stage to sing "Misty."

Co-Emcee, Bill Dergan reminds us "with Springtime, our thoughts turn to baseball."

Robert Williams sang Pat Boone’s "Love Letters in the Sand", followed by Ricky Nelson’s "It’s Late", with Chuck Gourley.  Vaude deVille did Dean Martin’s ""That’s Amore", Sharon Collins and Bobbie Andreas teamed up with an Everly Brothers song, "Bye, Bye Love."  Vaude came back with Johnny Ray’s "Cry", and the set ended with Chuck’s version of that Elvis Presley number, "Baby, I Don’t Care."

Robert Williams stepped in front of the curtain and gave us a stirring rendition of "From Here to Eternity."  And then, the Prime Time Tappers closed Act I with "Do Run Run."

After returning from Intermission, the audience had NO IDEA what was waiting behind the curtain!  The WOW Male Dancers zinged them one more time with a very cute routine choreographed by Helen Siegwarth to "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini!"

Let's see . . . who gets to follow that act???  First, we sent Vaude deVille out to sing "Mack the Knife", and then Lily Nielsen did that beautiful number, "Too Young."  Jim Parker joined Lily on stage in a short dance.  And, here came Frank Kinney to sing "Get Me to the Church on Time."

Ready for some Country Music from The Fabulous Fifties?  With guitars, fiddle, saxophone, and even a wash board, this set was a special treat for our lively audiences.  Chuck Gourley opened with "Singing the Blues", followed by "Hey Good Lookin" by Al McClymond, Chuck again, with "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You", and Bill Johnson singing "I Can't Stop Loving You."  The whole band joined in with "Jambalaya", as the audience was invited to sing along.

In front of the curtain, the Change of Pace Quartet sang wonderful harmonies with "Silhouettes."  And then the curtain opened to "Tequila" for tap dancer Mary Cullen.

Lyle Russell and Don Hancock teamed up for a funny duet to "Hey There", and Julia Taylor sang "Music, Music, Music", backed by The Banjo Combo.  To cap it off, Michele Penberthy came out with a "poodle skirt" outfit and proclaimed "I Enjoy Being a Girl."

What would a journey back to the 1950s be without an appearance by the "Mouseketeers?"  After treating us to a medley of Disney tunes, the group waved to the audience as they exited stage right and left.

Next up was our high-energy singer, Joan Forst, with that great song, "I'm In Love With a Wonderful Guy."  Robert Williams followed with a jumpin' saxophone solo to "Battle of New Orleans."

Joanie Roper, our "songstress with style" held the audience spellbound with that Broadway hit, "Somewhere", and the Prime Time Tappers finished Act II with a great dance routine to "Witch Doctor."

That's all, folks!  The talented and versatile Wrinkles of Washington! troupe proudly takes their bows as they exit through the audience to that Perry Como hit, "Juke Box Baby."

The other WOW troupe members come on stage as Co-Emcees Bill Dergan and Scott Schoengarth invite the audience to "Celebrate America!" by joining the cast in singing "God Bless America!."
