"Fame" Rocked!

Who would have guessed it?  After days of ridiculous rehearsals and no final script in place, the Jabberwocky players once again pulled off a fine play.  Here's some pictures.   Thanks for coming if you did - the place was packed both nights!

Hellcat opened the show with a flawless rendition of "The Jabberwock" poem.  Really, she made no mistakes, at 97 years old...

The show was a somewhat faithful reproduction of the classic film from the 80's:

But then someone thought it would be smart to put Darth Vadar and some storm troopers in there:

But "Fame" prevailed!

THE PLAY IS TONIGHT!

Please come see our production of "Fame" tonight at the camp (Greenwood Ave, Vineyardhaven).
Friday July 16th, and Saturday July 17th...
Showtime is 7:30pm, admission is free, and fun times are guaranteed!

Just another day

Mary Beth made a pot using her nose and chin...

Scotty and David picked some blueberries....

Paul edited a video on his laptop...

At studio night Dominic and Matt played violins...

Stephanie did an amazing act with a dog where she spilled a bowl of cereal all over the floor and he licked it up...

And Benicia and Justin did a number from "High School Musical"

The Fishing Trip

Some of us went on an excellent fishing excursion aboard the SS Skipper.  Everyone caught a fish!

We decided not to eat any of the fish we caught and instead threw them back into the sea.

The Play is coming up!  July 16th and 17th at 7:30pm...c'mon over and be amazed! 

Street Fair

Last week we marched into town en masse for the Tisbury Street Fair, intent on taking the world by storm and gorging everything the fair had to offer.  Namely pizza, ice cream, donuts, and other exotic cuisines that can only be found on the Vineyard. Rolling into a packed street fair 70-deep was an adventure in itself, so it's no small feat that the show was stolen by an awe-inspiring performance of George climbing the rock wall.  As he fearlessly climbed the Mt. Everest of rock walls, all eyes in Tisbury were on George.  The Man.  The Myth.  The Legend.

Ride a Horse

A reprise of one of our favorite original songs from Camp Jabberwocky, "Ride a Horse" - by Kevin Braxton and Jason Lopes.  

You don't need to adjust the sound on your computers - yes, you are in fact listening to the voices of angels.

Evening Kayak off Chappy

Although our good friends in the August session have partook in this adventure before, us July folk had never ventured to Chappaquiddick for a kayak trip.  It was awesome!  We paddled under the famous bridge and through pristine lands till our arms nearly fell off.

Nobody fell in the water unless they wanted too.  For some reason the water was very warm out there so most of us ended up taking a sunset dip and then sort of regretting it once we had to endure the cool breeze.

Some of us used canoes instead of kayaks.

The trip back in the dusk light was wonderous...

Horseback Riding and Water Fighting

The heat wave continues but it won't slow us down a bit!  We hydrated ourselves silly and went horseback riding like the cowboys of yore...

Sierra went on a trail ride:

That afternoon we had a water fight.  At first it was a baseball game, but then it turned into an all out soakfest.  Behold!

That evening we went kayaking and fishing, but you'll have to tune in tomorrow for those pictures.  Life is good here at Jabberwocky!
