Acting Improv is THE best activity there is.

Lancaster

Acting Improv, or AI, is offered almost every day, often twice, and since the start of the weekly/daily system, has also been offered as a weekly. The format is supremely basic; the students sit in a circle and suggest games and game scenarios. Then the RA (or a student the RA has designated to lead the activity) selects the game, the situation, and the actors involved. There is no requirement to be in the games; indeed, many CTYers just come to AI to be entertained.

Games

Common Themes/Jokes

  • Frank Wang
  • Blood of the Innocent (Nixon)
  • He was my friend! (Papa T)
  • I don't think that's the right way to go to the bathroom!
  • There can only be one! (On the park bench)
  • Michael Jackson
  • Zeke Weiner (06.2)
  • Killing Jokes (started by Nixon who would walk into the center, and pretend to shoot the offender)
  • Giving birth (None in 06.2)
  • Electric Shock which started with Hal in 05.2.
  • Crucifixion of Christ
  • While many themes and jokes were appreciated every time, 06.2-ers tired of "Rain!!!" the fat chicken/pig, and "Little Kids!!!!!"

Carlisle

Until 03.1, Improv was a common activity at Carlisle. In the second week of session 1, though, an offensive joke about 9/11 was made. It has not been offered since.
