The evening was full of laughter, joy, and hilarious improvised skits that had the audience excited to play along. The Thespian Club were quick on their feet as they worked off of audience participation, odd stage directions, and random lines in a series of improv games. 

Tracey Webb, RLC theater professor and club sponsor, praised the troupe, saying "They were amazing! They brought so much humor to the stage and had everyone laughing."

"The Thespians were very comfortable in the improv games we played and that made the audience feel more comfortable to play with us as well," said co-sponsor Taylor Wilburn. "Overall, it was a very welcoming and warm environment for everyone who was there."

The Thespians meet regularly to hone their skills and perform throughout the year. All RLC students, regardless of major, are welcome to join.
