Northstar Chorus Annual Show, 1995

Story Synopsis:   On a desolate island off the coast of Spain live the obscure but harmonious Dinka tribesmen, whiling away the centuries with their elaborate worship of the Lost Ark of Noah.  Led by their Ruthless, yet compassionate Queen Katrinka Dinka, they have escaped detection for four thousand years without even trying.  History has passed them by, with the exception of te periodic ships which have followed the example of the Ark and sunk off the coast of Dinkaland. From the onboard entertainers' costume trunk of one such cruise ship, the present-day Dinkas have evolved their distinctive wardrobe, which is something less than than see-worthy.  Recently, reports of the Ark's remains have filtered through to the outside world and members of the international scientific community  from Newark to Texarkana have infiltrated these once peaceful shores.  One renowned archeologist, Harrison Buick, a.k.a. Illinois Smith, has arrived in a desperate attempt to bring back at least a scrap of evidence of the Ark with which to make his mark at the archeologist convention in Arkansas.  Hark!

Memorable Line from Show:

Harrison: A freighter carrying Yo-Yos sprung a leak and sank...144 times.  the whole crew got a good Duncan.

Rosetta:  And two day later, a ship carrying red paint ran into a ship carrying blue paint....now they're marooned off the coast.

Harrison:  Columbus' ships were very efficient, they got over 4,000 miles to the galleon.
