Overheard outside Cafe 212: Girl speaking passionately to 2 guys: …It’s not that. It’s that I hate the Varsity Show, I hate everyone involved with it, and I hate it as an institution. Apparently, not everyone finds Zach Bendiner wearing a wig and make-up as funny as Bwog does.
Last night, The Varsity Show gave its annual I.A.L. Diamond Award to famed musician Art Garfunkel in a gala affair that was studded by exactly one star. The event, a pre-show reception held in Lerner C555, was attended by a mixed crowd of Varsity Show parents, friends, and alumni who enjoyed free drinks and appetizers. […]
(Skinny guy in striped shirt walks away from two girls waiting in line to pick up tickets to the Varsity Show) Girl #1: Ian smells like liquor. Girl #2: Ian ACTS like liquor. Ian was unavailable for comment.
T-2.5 hr. til the Varsity Show. If there’s at all a hole in your grueling weekend social schedule (ha!), swing by Roone and see the show. We promise it will be bwonderful and bwawesome and just the bwest.
Recently confirmed word on the street is that Columbia College graduate and certified big deal Brian Dennehy will be in attendance at Sunday’s performance of this year’s Varsity Show. That’s right. Varsity 112 = TWO celebrities. TWO. That’s almost like an issue of US Weekly. Hard core stalkers must attend the 8 PM performances of […]
The Varsity Show has a new trailer out. Not much more helpful than the first one, but now we know the show is about assassins (possibly ninjas) and that theater kids can’t spell “city.”
Guess who’s coming to the Varsity Show this year? That’s right, you guessed it… Art Garfunkel, C ’65, of Simon and Garfunkel fame. Yes, that raconteur, stealer of hearts, and dreamer of dreams is coming back to Alma to receive the Varsity Show’s annual I.A.L. Diamond Award, which goes to a Columbia alumnus who has […]
Word from a Varsity Show source is that set-up for tonight’s West End preview displaced a group of mourners fresh off a memorial service. The dearly departed was none other than Grandpa Munster himself. Grandpa reportedly lied his whole life about earning a Columbia Ph.D. so we’ll assume he wouldn’t mind sacrificing a little dignity […]
The Varsity Show’s strange little website has just put up an equally strange little trailer. Apparently, this year’s Varsity Show features nothing more than block letters in front of a black background and what sounds like the theme from Backdraft. Intriguing, at least in a Phillip Glass minimalist sense, but the Bwog hopes the producers […]
