Watch: 2024 Millbrook Improv Show
Student improv troupe, The Franciscos, closed out Millbrook’s 2024 Winter Arts Night with a wonderfully witty and silly interactive performance. The group warmed up by answering rapid-fire questions, and then got down to business, performing and inviting the audience to participate in various improv games.
You can either watch the full show or jump to specific performances by clicking on the game names below:
- Mad Libs — Assigned a setting and relationship, trios of performers acted out a scene, stopping to ask the audience to complete their sentences. Millbrook-related settings and characters dominated the action.
- House Party — A host welcomed performers to a party. Each guest presented a unique trait that the rest of the party emulated. Students entertained the audience with accents, animal sounds, and dance moves galore!
- Slideshow — In this game, one group of students served as fake experts on a topic provided by the audience. Another group of performers then had to create still scenes, or “slides,” that the faux authorities explained. The audience-provided subject, plastic surgery, produced many funny moments.
- Good, Bad, Worse — Three performers offered advice on problems shouted out by the audience, providing progressively worse counsel. The questionable advice covered dating and music production.
- Alibi — Performers had to talk their way out of a sticky situation, making up excuses as they went. Unfortunately, their increasingly unbelievable alibi didn’t help them escape punishment.
- Oracle — The final game featured groups of (you guessed it) three students who linked arms to form all-knowing oracles. They responded to audience questions as one, each speaking one word until a complete answer formed.
If laughter is the best medicine, then the 2024 improv show sent audience members and performers alike to bed in full health and good spirits!
