May 31st Show Recap by Paul Constable
Posted: June 3rd, 2009 under News, Blogroll.

Backstage, the cast warmed up with a quick game of “Prop Snatch” (also known by another name that escapes the author right now). You take an object and try to use it as anything else that it’s not (oh wait…I think Lisa Merchant calls it “Many Uses”…or something like that). We used a Steam Whistle plastic cup, which soon became a police siren on top of a car, earrings, an oversized wrist-watch…and in Sandy Jobin-Bevan’s hands, a drinking cup? Seriously…he used it as a cup like three times.


On to the show then…it opened with the acoustic stylings of Shawn Creamer. His original music had everyone’s heads nodding to the beat. Discussion afterward mostly included statements of “Where can we go hear that guy?” and “Seriously…Sandy used the plastic cup as a plastic cup?!?”


Next up was Professor David Shore, not to be confused with David Shore, our cranky yet lovable host. It was prophesized that the meeting of these two might create a time vortex, into which the Universe would slowly be sucked away and perhaps all known things would cease to exist. Instead, it led to some heady comedy about people with one body appendage missing.


Our last guest was comedian Debra DiGiovanni. Her personal tales of woe led to awesome tales of awesomeness. Lisa Merchant owned a cat that behaved like Fonzie, and those in the audience old enough to remember this character were impressed with Mr. Constable’s saying “Ayyyy!” about half a dozen times. Seriously, can’t that cat update his material?

It was a great, silly night of improv and laughter. Great guests, great scenes, GREAT TIMES!
