Sisters Act offers music, laughs for a good cause

From young prodigies playing Bach to George W. Bush and Barak Obama giving GPS directions, the Sisters Act revealed the talents of folks in the Sisters Country while raising funds to support education for children in Uganda.

Kelly Powell returned to Sisters from his gig as the principal of Otto Petersen Elementary School in Scappoose to assume his traditional emcee duties, ably assisted by Melvin Herburger and students Zachary Lusby and Shawn Horton.

The youngest performer on the stage was tiny Zenas Ortega, who duetted with Rick Slavkovsky on "Streets of Laredo Revisited."

Nathan John turned in a series of celebrity impressions based around using famous people to voice GPS directions and Dr. Phil "helping" celebrities, including a twitchy Charlie Sheen.

Young musicians Joseph, Mary and Martha Anderson performed on violin, and Amity and Devon Calvin offered up a musical "Taste of Scotland."

Ballet, jazz choir singing skits and "The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill" rounded out an evening of entertainment dedicated to helping Good Samaritan Ministries maintain their Nambirizi School in Uganda (see related story, page 1).
