It’s mid-March on a Friday morning. Dozens of USC students open their laptops and log in to Zoom, but it’s not for a lecture or class.
“I have no idea what to expect,” said sophomore Phong Doozy Do.
Freshman Valerie Dao is equally perplexed: “I mean, are we going to dress up like clowns and do clown stuff?”
The students have signed up for the Make Me Laugh workshop led by Zach Steel, USC School of Dramatic Arts assistant professor of theatre practice, head of comedy and supervisor of the medical clowning program.

“Masters of the Currents: A Conversation with the Creators and Cast” brought together webinar attendees across the country and around the world April 7 to celebrate the first nationally touring play about Micronesians in the United States.
The event, brought to Zoom by Visions and Voices and Asian Pacific American Student Assembly, foregrounded an often overlooked community: Micronesians. Micronesia is a subregion of Oceania comprised of hundreds of islands across the Pacific Ocean. Speakers included the creators and cast of “Masters of the Currents,” many of whom hail from these islands in Micronesia.
