Senior Follies gear up for April performances
WARREN — If you’re old enough to remember the 1960s and ’70s, you likely recall a TV staple of that time: the variety show.
Several celebrities hosted one — from Carol Burnett to Flip Wilson, Sonny and Cher to Ed Sullivan.
Those decades are long gone, but if you think the variety show is a replica of a bygone time, then you probably have never come across the SCOPE Senior Follies.
The group, with close to 100 soloists and dance troupe members from all over the area, spent part of today in a dress rehearsal at SCOPE Inc., 220 W. Market St., preparing for two shows next month. This will be the follies’ 19th annual performance.
The 2 Ω-hour shows, called “Be Our Guest,” are set for 7 p.m. April 19 and 2 p.m. April 20 at Lakeview High School, 300 Hillman Drive in Cortland. Tickets are $10 per person.
