Saturday September 17th saw the Kyabram Bocce Club shaking with laughter.
The Ky Improv Group, who are a group of local thespians, simply love having a good time and want to share it with as many people as they can. Over the last four or five years the group has chosen a local charity which they wish to support; luckily for us, this year it was HUG.
The amazingly talented crew of Bridget Sweeney, Brendan Busch, Luke Meeking, Calypso Archibald, Julie Riley and Paul Teusner were all lead by Viv Thomas as they as they improvised sketches and games based on the audience's suggestion and participation. It was wonderful to watch the cast's quick thinking and ability to come up with hilarious one liners and actions.
The cast had the audience in stitches of laughter, especially as they dragged people like Gayle Angelino (L) and Steve Kerwin (R) up to be part of the mayhem.
While all this fun was going on there was a huge benefit to HUG as well. Thanks to the generosity of the Ky Improv Group all profits from ticket sales ($1070) were donated to us. Add to this $160 in donations, $292 for the raffle and $133 in Suubi craft sales and this totalled an unbelievable profit of $1255! What an amazing result. The drama students had the opportunity to preform in front of a live audience, all while raising money that have a positive impact in Uganda for a long time to come. A win win for everyone!
Helen and Shirley took the opportunity to sell craft that had been made by the Suubi Ladies Craft Group.
A huge thank you goes to the entire cast and also Shirley Baum who all willingly gave up there time to organise a great event. Webale nnyo nnyo!
