Students laughed hysterically at the Cal State San Marcos Improv Team’s Improv Show on Saturday, Oct. 15.

Katrina Montalvo, Improv Team member and first-time hostess/ referee of the show, said, “We are the Improv Team on campus, but we are not official yet. We are really close, and it is so much fun.”

Aaron “Chase” Molina-Milbourne, team director, started the Improv Team about two years ago.

Since the team is looking for more recognition on campus, they were thrilled with Saturday’s turnout. They played six different games during the show: “Extreme Challenge,” “Forward-Reverse,” “Replay,” “Dirty Hand Randy,” “Five Things” and “World’s Worst.” Each of the games involved the four actors of the 7 p.m. show: Aaron a.k.a. “Chase”, Lorenzo, Nicole and James.

Throughout the show, the team took all their material from the audience and incorporated some the most outlandish suggestions into their acts. The audience seemed to enjoy the “Five Things” game the most because the team sent the referee (Montalvo) out of the room while the audience and the team came up with a set of actions that Montalvo had to identify through the actions from the Improv Team.

The team’s next show is Friday, Oct. 28. They perform shows every other Friday in ARTS 101 at 7 or 9 p.m. All the shows are free, but donations are welcome. They also have auditions once a semester. This semester is already cast, but they also are looking for acts that would like to perform during intermission.
