Variety Night-mare!
Sun, 6 Jan 2008, 07:43 amAs my very first production for a very long time, I'm producing/directing a Variety Night in my little country seaside town....I've had some fantastic help from the wonderful people here before, and now I need to ask for help again!
With less than a week to go, I have had 3 acts and the MC pull out! Talk about a NIGHTMARE- I have managed to fill in a spot, but I am stuck for a song we can use for a Finale to make up for the shorter program- we are looking for something simple, yet with a heap of WOW factor! We have the most fantastic male and female singer, who will lead the singing.....
Also, is there somewhere I can go to find a pre-written/easily adaptable script for an MC?
Thank you again, for ANY help you care to send our way!

I suggest "I Still Call Australia Home" for a bit of patriotism or "There's No Business Like Show Business" from Annie Get Your Gun.
MC? Bit harder. You need someone with a sense of humour, who can learn a bit about each act and be your glue. What about you??? Or you might ask a local radio personality? Or is there a Rostrum group in the nearest big town? They specialise in public speaking. Or try Rotary or other charity groups. They often have speakers and might be able to recommend someone.
Good luck! (and I hope my response doesn't disappear into the ether this time).
