Taft Summer Program Ends With a Class Act

By Michelle Sanford Staff Reporter/Columnist · September 09, 2010
Typically, the Taft Public Library's Summer Reading programs are well-planned presentations which have been performed over and over again by the headliner. However, the same cannot be said about the Library's last show of the summer, which instead gave a much unscripted performance by the cast of Improv 4Kids. The evening performance took place at Clough Elementary School on August 16 and marked the end of yet another successful summer of reading and fun for Mendon kids.

Improv 4Kids is a professional improv troupe consisting of four actors, who to the delight of their young audience, put on skits and musical numbers based on whatever the audience would throw at them. The cast included actors Walt Frasier, Laurice Fattal, Spero Chumas, and Tyler Fisher.

Whether it was about starting school, sports, Disney World, or a guinea pig, the four talented and quick-witted actors could act out or sing on any topic in a moment's notice and with loads of energy.

At one point in the show, a youngster threw out the name of a crazy, made up book title called, The Acorn that Falls on Your Head That Went Bopp, and without any hesitation, the actors began to act out a humorous story related to the title.

Based in New York City, Improv 4Kids has played for hundreds of audiences across the country but plays exclusively to kids. In addition to playing for libraries, the group also performs nationwide for schools, charity fundraisers, festivals, churches and other special events and has been featured on ABC News.

Thank You Bronx

A special thanks goes out to the great people of the Bronx for voting out Pedro Espada Jr. Proof that our system works, this guy plowed through Albany, making a mockery of our government from within. Usually that is the job of us Comedians, but Pedro spit in our face with daily corruption and power plays.

Saw the new guy on FOX 5 this morning. Seems like a great guy. Let's see. But even if he is a total novice, I would rather have ignorant and inexperienced legislators than power hungry selfish ones.

So thanks for saying

DON"T VOTE FOR PEDRO

(Napolean Dynomite)

BUY BUY PEDRO

BURN THEM ALL

Yeah I said it, Burn the Qurans. All 200 of them.

While we are at it.... Build the Mosque!!!

How about burning some blessed bibles? Crosses? Rosaries? Torahs? Minorahs? Divinci's Last Supper?

Lets at least be equal opp offenders, right?

I know these items all have special meaning, but this is 2010. Can we finally move out of the DARK AGES!!!

As I understand it, this idiot in Florida is a pastor with a congregation of 50 people. Perhaps playing to the racist extremists of the south, this jerk off plans to grow is flock of ignorant haters. Perhaps they need to sell a few plots in the mobile home park.

Now this attention getter claims he will not burn the books if the World Trade Center Mosque is not built. If you believe the profit from Florida, The Imam lied about his intentions. How did this numb-nut ever think he has any influence over anything behind his little piece of swamp. If the NY Governor cannot persuade change of plans...

But again I say burn the books. As idiot extremist nutso cult leaders go, that is far better than cool aid and plastic bags. Make your "statement" and move on.

I think the best solution, the NYC Imam should build his Mosque next to the Florida church of the self annointed ones. That should make all happy.
