Fifteen CCHS seniors will take part in the 10th annual Theater Sports Competition on Tuesday, March 24 at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts at 7 p.m. Theater Sports is a wild and raucous affair pitting two teams against each other in improvisational situations thrown at them in rapid fire by Michael McHugh, sometimes with assistance from the audience. Cost is $5 for students and $8 for adults. Last year’s participants are seen here.
In its 10th season, Theater Sports brings a madcap night of zany fun to the county on March 24. Fifteen seniors will compete on stage at 7 p.m. in the Arrowhead Center for the Arts.
Tickets, which go fast, are $5 for students and $8 for adults.
“The competition can get a little crazy, but it’s for a great cause,” said senior high English Teacher Ivy Church.
Proceeds pay for the College Literature class’s annual theater trip to the Twin Cities. On this year’s April 17-18 trip the class will tour museums and enjoy plays at both Park Square Theater and Guthrie Theater.
Coached by Michael McHugh, Theater Sports is improvisational theater with a competitive sports angle. Two teams compete in a series of wacky scenes or suggestions presented to them by the audience or Mr. McHugh. What follows is often laugh out loud, knee-slapping laughter.
This year’s participants are Britta Andress, Ashley Berglund, Richie Furlong, Danielle Hansen, Brenna Hay, Aubry Lewis, Ave McMillian, Morgan Mixdorf, Emma Olfson, Elizabeth O’Phelan, Carrie Palmer, Jami Sjogren, Andrew Thompson, Laura Thompson, and Libby Zaft.
