Improv Show Wraps up Second Semester

The Scripps Ranch Improv Club put on their first show of the year on Jan. 31. The performance was a big hit among SRHS students and staff, and good comic relief for stressed Falcons finishing up finals. Members of the improv team recalled that very little preparation goes into these shows, as everything said on stage is unrehearsed, and simply made up by team members on the spot. This challenge is what gives improv its exciting element of chance and spontaneity. James Poonoosamy is a senior in improv and participated in the recent performance. When asked about the most challenging part of an improv show, he stated, “It is getting around the idea that you have to be funny on stage. That makes you nervous, but when you just try to have fun, you end up being funny.” The improv members have to always keep this in mind while on stage to deliver the most relaxed and natural performance possible.
Improv member Luke Lima also participated in the Jan. 31 show. He’s been part of the club for nearly two years, and said, “My co-captain, Gennie Flores, and I had a lot of fun hosting.” Lima mentioned that some other performers – Maia Fram, Roy Shalev, and Amari Portis – also had a good time participating in the show. Ary Behan, a member of SRHS theater, supported his fellow performers by attending the show, and recalled, “It was a great show! It’s really cool to see my friends putting themselves out there and having fun performing.” The next Improv show is scheduled for March 19 and 20, and the team is expecting another comical experience for all who attend. ¢
