Sybil Bruncheon’s GREAT MOMENTS IN THE ARTS!!... February 25th, 1918...

On this date, February 25th, 1918, Vaslav Nijinsky staged his new ballet, “SIS KOOM-BAH!”… the heartbreaking story of a sensitive young man in college who decides against all sound advice to become a cheerleader for the Ladies’ Cross-Country & Obstacle-Course Croquet Team. Although teased and even assaulted mercilessly with oblong vegetables by a gang of traveling salesmen, he becomes the captain and inspires the other cheerleaders to win state competitions. Tragically, in the final act, the young man is struck by a fierce “dambuster shot” and he pitches into a swamp on the grounds of the Key Largo Secretarial Sciences Academy. Nijinsky reused his dying swan choreography to great effect as the drowning cheerleader…. tangled in a treacherous thicket of… um… wickets… The critics were rapturous!
