SLC Lampoon
Advanced—Year
SLC Lampoon is a comedy ensemble of actors, directors, and writers. The techniques of Second City and Theatersports will be used to create an improvisational troupe that will perform throughout the campus. The ensemble will craft comic characters and write sketches, parodies, and political satire. This work will culminate in a final SLC Lampoon Mainstage performance in the style of Second City or Saturday Night Live. Audition required.
