The many faces of Ewan Campbell!

The Maccabi Divas - Joanna, Liz and Lisa - make a stunning entrance!

Simon from Yentl as Anything and the all-singing, all-dancing Shiksa Envy (minus Bianca, en route to the theatre via Tokyo and a Madonna interview!)

Sing that Anthem!! Ewan loves Theatresports!

Much Ado About Nachas: Steve, Amanda and Heather... a super combo! Their Word at a Time Story, "David's an Angel".

The original... and still the most successful team after 10 years: Shmux in Tux perform a Word at a Time Story - "The Visit from Auntie Jane".

Slow Motion Commentary by the Divas... "Pulling a tooth"

David, Bianca and Bec of Shiksa Envy do Death in a Minute "At the Kosher Winery", while Richard of the Yentls is mid slo-mo "Dressing the Torah"

Rabbi-Proof Fence (Shimon, Steven and Peter) do Death at a Briss, then Expert Commentary... mit gunseh Yiddish! "I believe you're an expert in matza-ball sculpture". Oy!

The Yentls' Puppets game... At the Chiropractor

... and Shiksa Envy's reply: in the Sauna

Nachas do a Hearing Impaired Interview: "I believe you're an expert in practical jokes?"

Ewan finds a Tatachilla wine prize for a lucky audience member...

Shmux in Tux in fine voice... singing The Blue-Box Blues

And the Divas' version; "Rockin' Rabbi"!!

Alphabet game at the Passover Seder

... and Maccabi Divas do a seduction at the Protest Rally!

Shiksa Envy do a Subtitles scene "Pishta's First Love"...

... with a deeply emotional Bianca Dye!

Or is she just a 'coy'???

Nacha's Heather and Amanda try and remember the story of Joseph for their Classic in a Minute.

Ah yes... I remember... a coloured coat and Egyptian stuff...

Yentl as Anything speak in one voice for the Japanese Tea Ceremony

...while Shmux in Tux' I Love You scene is set in Parliament!

Act II and Ewan knows where the headlines are!

Rabbi-proof Fence begin to edge away from the field: a brilliant opera "The Rise and Fall of Nanny McGuire"

... while Shiksa Envy's Genre Rollercoaster scene is set at a barmitvah!

Yentl do a reduction scene in a driving test!

The Divas Typewriter game introduces agent 006... Joel Bond

and Nachas' Crime Endowment game sees Heather finally admit to failing to clean up her dog's poo at Moriah with her accomplice Austen Tayshus!

A memorable Playbook scene by the Shmux at the Marriage Counselling session where Andy speaks only in lines from Oscar Wilde's least known play!

Unparallelled Drama! A three-way tie for 3rd place means a triple Statues tie-breaker! Bianca and her team mold Nachas...

then the Shmux do the Envy... and Nachas put the Shmux in a Tangle... from which they emerge victorious!

A quick massage for the audience, led by Ewan...

Then the final challenge. Rabbi-proof fence do a pink coloured scene with the whole company filling their bus.

Love is all around!

Shmux in Tux announce their retirement after 10 years, then perform the best scene of the night:
A sing about it using a breast plate. The inspired subject? Captain Obvious!

A chicken... and a feather. Seems obvious... but the score of 13 means they almost catch Rabbi-Proof Fence.

First, moment of the match...

Then Amanda wins Best and Fairest (2 nights away at a Vibe Hotel... and CHOCOLATE!)

Geoff and the mini-mees (the human scoreboard) prepare the Cup for presenting to...

RABBI-PROOF FENCE! Shimon Senator, Stephen O'Donnell and Peter Lead.

VICTORY! How sweet it is...
