On Monday September 23, 2013 the Stockton Theatre Club hosted a free show based off of the TV show Whose Line is it Anyway?  This new adaptation of the popular TV show was amazing.  The show started off with a handful of the on-stage actors getting up and preforming a pantomime slideshow for an imaginary trip to the Niagara Falls. Two other actors narrated what was happening in the scene.  One actress named Kate was described as the one who goes over the falls and dies. She remained in the show, but the “death” stuck around as a running joke throughout the show.  This was followed by a game called The Alphabet Game.  In this game, two actors, Dan and Kate, are given a scenario of how the first time they meet. The scenario they were given involved them getting lost in a corn maze.  Alternating lines, Dan and Kate had a conversation. However, the catch was that each line had to start with the letters of the alphabet in order.  Once the dialogue got to the letter “Z” the game was over and the team moved on to Space Jump.  In Space Jump, two actors start on stage. New actors enter and the scene changes until every actor who is participating is on stage. Then they begin leaving making the actors go backwards through scenes until the original two actors remain on stage.  This game had the actors start out wrestling an alligator, to celebrating Thanksgiving, to talking again about poor Kate’s death at Niagara Falls.  Then the party began!  Seriously, the next game was called Party Quirks. There was a host for an imaginary party and three guests.  These guests were given quirks that the host did not know.  Once the party began the guests were not permitted to leave until the host discovered their quirks.  One girl had to sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” while another danced to “Oppa Gangnam Style” whenever the host looked at her, and the final guest had to pretend he was turning into a werewolf.  This game is always a hilarious one to watch.  Party Quirks was followed by the Rhyming Game.  In this game, three audience members are selected and set in a line of the actors.  Two at a time, those on center stage have a conversation where the lines must rhyme. If the lines didn’t rhyme, the person who failed to rhyme went to the back of the line.  Next were monologues, in this game a panel of actors are on the stage and an event is selected.  The selected event was Black Friday at Walmart.  Then with this information each actor picks a character and scenario they will monologue about.  In this scenario a poor little girl was trampled while looking at a 12-inch TV she longed to buy while a hobo took the TV.  The Dating Game was the next endeavor for the actors to experience.  One man, Josh leaves the room while three girls are the potential dates for him, but they are given famous personas.  One girl was Fat Amy, one was Luke Skywalker, and the third was the Tooth Fairy. Josh had to ask a few questions in the dating game until he could guess whom the three contestants were.  The final game was Survivor.  This game holds true to the game of survivor. A scenario is set, like this one where the actors were stranded on a desert island.  After the scene was enacted, the weakest actor was voted off and the whole scene was repeated with that actor now missing.  This continued until only one actor remained. Taylor was left alone to act the part that seven other actors had not been able to do.  She yelled at herself and fought with herself.  At one point she even became some sort of animal and chased herself.  This show was very entertaining and full of laughs.  The humor throughout the show was consistent.  I cannot wait for the next Whose Line put on by the Stockton Theatre Club!
