Floyd County Skit Night

Floyd County Skit Night is a FUNdraiser run by Blue Mountain School students to raise money for a school trip to Washington DC. It will be held Sunday, April 1st from 6pm – 9pm.

There will be baked goods for sale, Dogtown’s great pizzas, and a photo booth for kids of all ages: have your photo taken with movie or make-believe characters.

Performing

Skit Night gives you an opportunity to perform in front of a friendly audience. Talent is optional. You can perform whatever you want: rehearsed skits, improv, spoken word, poetry slams, singing, dancing, music, acrobatics, juggling, forensics, stand-up comedy—anything is possible, and that is the charm of Skit Night. So long as you walk off the stage feeling fulfilled, you have succeeded at Skit Night.

If you wish to perform at skit night, simply contact Jamie Reygle at jamie@bluemountainschool.net or (540) 745-4234. Save the date: dress rehearsal will be at 1pm, and the show starts at 6pm.
