The Theater Department is currently in production for another original sketch comedy which is scheduled to go up the first week of March. This show (still to be named) will provide both the cast and audience with a unique setting in which the crowd sits on stage just feet from the action. Stylistically the production process and performance will be similar to those found at the famed Second City in Chicago. This is not by accident as student involved with the Theater Department have traveled to Chicago participate in workshops and see shows at Second City, Improv Olympic (iO), and Comedy Sportz. This year's sketch comedy will feature:
Kayla Upshaw, Matt Hygh, Katie Coon, Colt Sutton, Kayla Fournier, Jake Embs, Mitch Raeck,and Karissa Bradley
This will be DeWitt's sixth original show under the direction of Jeff Croley and the fourth sketch comedy in the last five years. Other original shows include Graffiti Theater, War Daries, and sketch comedies World News Tonight, The Idiot Box--The Real Reason for Keeping America Idle, and Headline Muse -- A Comedic Bailout for a Nation in Need.
Tickets for this show will be $7 Adults $5 Students and will be available at the door -- General Adsmission. For more information call 517.668.3169.
