The lights have been turned off, the sequins taken off and awards have been given to this year's outstanding Rock Chalk Revue performances.
Saturday, at the conclusion of the 50th anniversary of the revue, the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity skit, "Swingin' to Victory," walked away with the most awards.
The performance, which was set on a World War II army base and featured swing dancing, won five awards including, best show.
"We put so much work into it," said Julie Gorman, director and Lenexa junior. "It is gratifying because none of the directors had any previous musical or theatrical experience."
In addition to the overall best show award, "Swingin' to Victory," was also honored for best original song and best production number. The performance also won a new award: best interpretation of theme.
Alex Locke, Rock Chalk Revue executive director said that this year's Revue theme, "Wonders Never Cease," was named in honor
of the revue's creator, Roy Wonder.
Danner Evans, Wichita junior and Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority member, was named best actress for the second consecutive year.
Hunter Williams, Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity member, won best actor for his role as an airplane mechanic.
Supporting role awards went to Cate Pugh, Alpha Delta Pi sorority member and Scott Newcomer, Delta Chi fraternity member.
Kappa Kappa Gamma and Beta Theta Pi's show received awards for best costumes and best use of set.
Community service was also highlighted at Saturday night's performance. Katie Robinson, Kappa Alpha Theta sorority member, was named the most charitable individual for participating in 330 hours of community service. Drew Thompson, Beta Theta Pi fraternity member, was runner-up with 160 hours.
Maggie Wilson, community service coordinator for the revue, said that this year, 35,300 total service hours had been donated.
Rock Chalk Revue organizers presented the Douglas County United Way with a $40,000 check from the show's proceeds.
