On October 29, I went to Who’s Line in the campus theater. Multiple times throughout the semester the theater club hosts these shows, and anyone can go. I had gone to previous Who’s Lines, and my friends wanted to go, so I went as well. Who’s Line is just a combination of small, short skits performed one after another. The audience also participates in a few skits by picking scenarios or getting to go on stage and taking part in a skit. At this Who’s Line, one of the skits was Party Quirks. In this skit, the audience gave three performers party quirks. This means that each performer would get a different quirk and would have to act with that quirk until the party host guessed his/her quirk. This skit is always funny because sometimes the quirk is very hard to act out or guess, and the audience is also a part of the skit.
Another skit the theater club did is the alphabet game. The alphabet game is when two performers are talking to each other about a topic of the audience’s choosing, but the first letter of the first word the first person says has to start with an A. Then, the second person starts with B, and this progression continues until they get to Z. This skit is always very funny as it continues on because it is usually impossible to say anything relevant with letters like X or Z. These letters usually result in x-ray, xylophone, zebra, or other words that usually don’t work with the topic. The performers also get frustrated when they have to say these words, and that increases the humor of the skit.
The last skit is helping hands. This skit is always very good to end Who’s Line. It involves four people: two people get behind two other people and function as the hands of the other person in front of them. Food is then placed on a table in front of the people and the two people using their hands feed the other two. There is also a variety of food like salad dressing, bread, cereal, and others. This skit usually ends up as two people having their faces covered in food, and everyone laughing as the show reaches its end.
