The Last Laugh Improv group held their semesterly performances in the International Gardens on the Armstrong Campus on April 21 and 22. Hannah Dodson, a co-director of the improv troupe, led the group in five improvisation games, with different prompts that tested the performers’ wit and quick-thinking abilities. The first game they played,“What are you.
The Last Laugh Improv Troupe performed two shows on the Armstrong Campus in the International Gardens on Mar. 25 and 26. Students, faculty, and family were in attendance as the troupe, led by Senior Fiona Schirmer, performed high energy, improvisational comedy.
The actors performed a long-form, improvised storyline that ran through the entire show. The breaks between scenes were occupied by a variety of games that highlighted the individual actors’ abilities.
The show provided a fun way for students and others to let off steam after working through a pandemic that has lasted over a year. The audience was very supportive and often participatory in the show itself, with audience involvement being a long-standing tradition of improv.
