Whose Line is it Anyway?

Drew Bencie

The Stockton Theater Club’s Whose Line is it Anyway Performances are probably my favorite student organized events on campus. Whose Line is an improvisational comedy show in which all of the actions and dialogue are made up on the spot. They are consistently hilarious and always entertaining to the point where I have invited friends over just to come see it. One thing that made this past Whose Line especially great is the fact that two girls that live in my building were performing in it for the first time. Nearly the entire building came out to support them. They all sat front row, with signs held high, cheering on their friends. It’s amazing to think about it, really. Just a month ago, all we knew about one other was a name, major, and whatever interesting fact came up during an ice-breaker. Just a few weeks later, we all packed together into an auditorium to laugh hysterically at people that didn’t exist in our lives until a short while ago. The Whose Line nights have a way of bringing people together for a common purpose: laughter.
One of the best parts of this event is seeing how your suggestions, whether written or yelled, are incorporated into the show. The level of interaction with the audience is undoubtedly an impressive component to the show. The ability to think and adapt to new suggestions while remaining upbeat and entertaining is a true testament to how talented the actors and actresses in the Whose Line performances are.
Without a doubt, I will be going to the Whose Line nights for the rest of my time here. To anyone reading, I cannot recommend them enough. They are a great time, with great people doing some really funny stuff. They are definitely something you will regret missing.
