Laura Corman played a part in the two acts of "Out Standing in the Field," a take off of "Hee Haw," at the variety show at the Superior Auditorium, Saturday evening.
Saturday evening area residents gathered at the Superior Auditorium for cookout and variety show.
Beverly Beavers opened the variety show by thanking the many people who have worked tirelessly on the auditorium for several years so the facility can now be open to the public.
Lynette Bartley served as master of ceremony and kept the audience alert with jokes between events.
Two musical performances opened the show:
Rob Williams returned to the stage in Superior after many years of absence when he accompanied himself with a guitar as he sang "Act Naturally." He remembered attending dances in the auditorium as a Superior High School student
Ellie Karnatz, an elementary student, sang "America" and "This Land is Your Land" a cappella.
The stage changed. Nearly unrecognizable hillbilly characters set up a row of cornstalks and a couple of wooden lawn chairs, where they settled in to do a take off of "Hee Haw" in a two act series both early and later in the show. Actors were Rick Hiatt, Dan Lygrisse, Pat File, Laurie Corman, Chris Hiatt and Ged Liebel.
Tierney Casper, Superior Elementary music instructor, and Beverly Beavers, sang a duet: "Homeward Bound."
Casper also provided the grand finale vocal performance.
Stephanie Thayer joined her father, Rob Williams, on stage. Rob accompanied with his guitar as she sang" Walking After Midnight." Later, Rob would again accompany himself as he sang "Jambalaya."
He also accompanied Stephanie as she sang "Tennessee Waltz and Bye Bye Love."
After a joke or two the spotlight shown center stage on a young slender blonde dressed in dazzling yellowish-gold dance apparrel. Parker Littrell wowed the audience with a dance routine performed with a recorded musical background. Littrell, a Superior High School student, has taken lessons since she was a preschool student.
Emily Hayes accompanied herself on the piano as she sang "Fall on Me" and later played "Never Enough" as a piano solo. A highly trained pianist and vocalist, she regularly accompanies Superior Public School musical concerts.
