The Variety Show

Closer VS 2018

A tradition four decades in the making, the Variety Show represents a long-standing tradition for McKenzie parents, students, and staff. Every year 100+ members of the McKenzie community join together to produce a top-notch, highly engaging hour of fun-filled entertainment. Sure, it’s truly for the kids who watch with awe from the audience. But don’t believe that completely. Get involved and see for yourself. Come along for the ride this year, either on stage or help out behind the scenes – help raise money for the PTA and contribute to McKenzie’s spirited school community – a place kids and parents are proud to call home.
