\nComedy is an art and a delicate profession that lives or dies from your current or previous routine.<\/p>\n
It is a field where the jester is hanging on by a thread, every second his voice or actions are being interpreted. Comedy is a realm where only the funniest survive. It\u2019s either laughter or pain, either joy or sorrow. Either good or bad, comedy is a specimen constantly under the watchful microscope of the crowd. Comedy is a platform where new talents rise or descend and the Daytona State College improvisational comedy class, directed by Professor Samantha Stern certainly rose to the occasion recently.<\/p>\n
Early in April, the Gillespy Theatre at the News-Journal Center presented \u201cImprov Night,\u201d a showcase for the students to flex their theatrical, improvisational skills for all to witness. In a house of about 70 people, it was show time and the opening act did not disappoint.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuman Instruments\u201d was a funny icebreaker where audience members called out the names of various instruments that teams on stage had to emulate. There were many skits that followed with Professor Stern emceeing the night and keeping the audience involved throughout. The energetic crowd interjected many different ideas, themes, genres and nouns for the merry bandits to run with. Laughing, giggling and blurting out loud hysterics was a constant throughout the evening, which featured nine performers who were on the fly all night.<\/p>\n
There were numerous good, solid and funny characters that kept the audience laughing and enthralled. The audience thought the dating game, \u201cLove Connection\u201d was by far the best skit, especially the part where \u201cBill Clinton\u201d was explaining to a girl why she should be with him. There were many laughs during the show, but in fairness the \u201cLove Connection\u201d skit brought down the house. The finalists in the game, Batman and President Bill Clinton had hilarious remarks that had the crowd in a frenzy of laughter. Judging by the volume it was the hit of the night.<\/p>\n
Overall, the \u201cImprov Night\u201d showcase was a smashing hit. It was a solid performance by all nine actors. People flowed out of the theater happy and laughing, telling others about their favorite parts of the night. The crowd was certainly entertained from opening to closing skit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
