AACC’s improv troupe Overcast Improv returned to the stage Friday at 7 p.m. for “SKETCHy Behavior,” an amusing variety show.
The club’s second performance this semester, following the Black Box Series, included sketches written by the cast members with timeless improv games in between each act.
Co-Presidents Eva Parry, a second-year history student, and Jason Kalshoven, a third-year film student, said in the introduction they want to give the audience a taste of everything the club has to offer with this show, and continued to put on an engaging hour-long performance in the Little Theater in HUM.
Parry, Kalshoven and club member Cameron Millar wrote the hilarious sketches acted out by the talented club members. The sketches covered everything from the zombie apocalypse to online dating and first dates.
Between the sketches, club members were able to give the audience a look inside of their meetings by showcasing classic improv games “remote” and “dating game.” Both times the audience was left in an uproar.
“Remote” requires someone from the audience to give the troupe a topic, and each member, given a designated genre, tries to relate that topic to their program on the “TV.” While “dating game” follows the classic format of an old-school dating game show, but requires the audience to give some quirks to the “bachelors” on stage.
Club member Izzy Martin, a second-year transfer studies in sociology student, made a hysterical impression on the audience in the first sketch of the night as a bell-keeper.
Kevin Remson, a new addition to the now two-year old club, shined as an enthusiastic poacher, in a sketch close to the end of the show.
The troupe will be performing “SKETCHy Behavior” again on Saturday March 29. In the Little Theater in HUM at 7 p.m.
