Overcast Improv will host its final spring show on April 25 and 26.
The performance will be the fourth of the school year for the club, run by co-presidents Jason Kalshoven, a third-year film studies student, and Éva Parry, a second-year history student.
“We’re really looking forward to ending the semester with a good send off for the club,” Kalshoven said. “We’ve just been doing so much this year.”
Overcast Improv’s two other shows were a performance based on movie sequels in December and the “SKETCHy Behavior” series in March, which consisted of non-improvised sketch comedy shows.
The club also worked with AACC Theater to host Black Box, a collection of short plays by students.
Parry said the club has grown since it started in fall 2023 and she didn’t expect it to attract many members. This semester, up to 30 students have attended each club meeting to try out their improvisational skills.
“I think when we started, we probably had like, maybe six people that were showing up regularly,” Parry said. “That has definitely been something that’s been really, like, fun to see grow.”
Kalshoven said the upcoming show will feature classic sets of improv games.
“Our improv show [goes] back to the basics, just classic, regular, normal, cool, fun improv,” Kalshoven said. “And it’s going to be great.”
Club member Jaycee Cord said she’s looking forward to the upcoming shows.
“I think that all of the cast members are hilarious, and they do great things with their games, and their improv skills are just perfect,” Cord, a first-year film student, said. “You will always catch something funny … going on.”
