Theatre Arts students perform in student-written sketch comedy show

McDaniel College Theatre Arts students perform in “That’s Sketchy!,” a student-written sketch comedy show featuring all original pieces developed by McDaniel students, Wednesday, April 10–Saturday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m., in WMC Alumni Hall. Note:  the show is recommended for ages 16 and over due to adult language. 

Inspired by Second City, “Saturday Night Live,” and other classic sketch artists, such as Nichols and May, Carol Burnett, and Sid Caesar, the show has been completely developed by students in the “Comedy Sketch Writing and Performance” class taught by theatre arts lecturer Gené Fouché. 

According to Fouché, “Audiences are in for a treat! Working with these students to mine their sketches has been a pleasure that has kept me laughing all semester. We all need a little humor to escape what’s going on around us and this is the perfect show for that.”

The students include Vanessa Bliss of Reston, Va., Matthew Boykin-Derrill of Baltimore, Mikayla Braswell of Germantown, Md., Brandi Dupree of Baltimore, Matthew Foley of Fair Lawn, N.J., Kendall Harnsberger of Baltimore, Kiah Hyman of Ellicott City, Md., Ben Michaels of Lakeville, Minn., Olivia Michel of New York, N.Y., Flannery Monaghan-Morris of Pelham, N.Y., Cole Owens of Damascus, Md., Anna Rozier of Westport, Conn., Amila Sefo of Erkrath, Germany, Chris Spahn of Boyds, Md., Corey Van Huff of Neptune City, N.J., Jen Willard of North Potomac, Md., and Patsy Zetkulic of Arlington, Va. 

The performances are free and open to the public; no tickets are required.
