Karaoke and American Idol competitions are some of today’s popular entertainment choices. Similarly during this month of July, the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity find joy in fostering community spirit with a Summer Talent Show. Sunday afternoon, July 20, 2008, was the date chosen for this recreational opportunity that not only highlighted the Sisters’ talents, but Franciscan merriment as well.
Musical renditions that were part of the 2:00 p.m. program include:
- Carnival, Sarabonde, Gavotte
- Granada, Trieste Overture, Casey Jones
- 1960’s: Try to Remember; Scarborough Fair
- Harp, flute, accordion, string and harmonica selections
- Franciscan Sister compositions
- Musical medley
Dances (Tanzanian King Lizombi, Black Nag-Pride & Prejudice style, Nigerian Fatima) and humorous stories added further show variety and much audience amusement.
