Chizzle Wizzle

The 135th Chizzle Wizzle is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday-Friday at Cony Middle and High School, 60 Pierce Drive, Augusta.

Tuesday and Thursday shows begin with showcase and end with Olios; Wednesday and Friday night show begin with Olios and conclude with the Showcase.

The show has the distinction of being the longest-running student variety show in the United States, never missing a year between 1892 and 2025, according to the school’s website.

In the 1890s, a group of Cony students banded together to raise money for the high school football team. The students organized the Chizzle Wizzle Association, named after a popular school cheer: “Chizzle Wizzle, Chizzle Wizzle, Sis Boom Bah! Cony High, Cony High, Rah Rah Rah!”

The Olio variety acts have been a part of the show since the beginning and give students a chance to perform alone or in small groups, in a comedy skit, vocal or instrumental number, dance or specialty acts.

Tickets cost $10; augustaschools.org.

The Irish Tenors

The trio has been touring since 1998, with sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall, Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall, The Hollywood Bowl and major concert halls throughout the world. 

They are surely versatile, but for many, Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan and Patrick Hyland are synonymous with Irish music. There is an aching bittersweet quality to much of Ireland’s musical heritage, a melodic loveliness and emotional intensity that brings a tingle to the spine and a tear to the eye.

Tickets cost $56-$66; operahouse.org.
