VARIETY SHOW CELEBRATES

25-YEAR HISTORY WITH ‘SILVER JUBILEE’

Benjamin friends and families enjoyed an evening under the stars as the School hosted the 25th annual Variety Show “Silver Jubilee” on the evening of January 16.

The show, which took place outside at the upper school in a physically distanced format, featured Variety Show history and entertainment, as well as live, pre-show performances.

Guests were treated to live performances by middle school student R.J. Pierman and faculty member Nathan Ginnetty, as well as Benjamin alumnus and parent Dr. Andrew Moffitt ‘84.

The prerecorded show was hosted by Chief Development Officer Juan Carlos Fanjul ‘93 who interviewed Variety Show Chair Lisa Calberg and Artistic Director Sara Salivar. The program featured 25 years of Variety Show entertainment — from a tribute to the School’s founders, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin, to flashback favorites, and a tribute to Mr. Perry Feyk and his band PFP for 20 years of great music.

The program included new numbers from 2021, including the middle school dancers, the Lower School second grade Haydn strings ensemble, and the upper school dance team The Dazzlers.

Head of Upper School Fletcher Carr praised the program saying it was a wonderful alternative during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a real treat to see the highlights of the showcase over the years.
