“Our faculty members are exceptional educators. Tonight, we learned that they are also hugely talented performers,” said Head of School Rob Macrae.
The faculty chorus opened the sold-out show with the school song, “Fortune Favors the Bold,” composed by music teacher Andy Tyson. Director of Community Service Lynn Sullivan, who organized the event, welcomed the audience and introduced special guests from the four organizations which received the proceeds from the event: Americares, Blossom Hill Foundation, K.E.Y.S., and Neighbors Link.
Veteran Upper School teacher Tom Giggi and former Upper School teacher Al Perry, both of New Canaan, reprised their “Who’s on First” performance originally made “famous” at a faculty and staff talent show more than a decade ago. Additional acts included a Shakespearean scene, a fiddler, a Ragtime band, Irish hip-hop and step dances, and songs by solo performers and rock bands.
Faculty and staff also contributed original artworks which were auctioned off as door prizes and others prepared culinary delights.
