It was an ordinary Monday night. Everyone who was inside the Cisler Center around eight o’ clock that night entered the Peacock Cove, awaiting what was told to them to be an “enjoyable experience”. Then the lights dimmed. Five men in sunglasses and Geek Squad outfits emerged from the crowd of unexpected students. They were sent to entertain with comedic skits and jokes, set up thanks to the audience. They were improvisation actors. And they called themselves “Mission: Improvable”. The group is a reminder of the improvisation show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, only it did not feature Wayne Brady. Five actors, each codenamed something cool or out of this world, such as Agent Bad Boy, Agent Doomsday, and even Agent Sandwich, entertained an attentive and interactive audience with games that involved the audiences participation. One game called World’s Worst, which was depicted from the “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” show, gave the audience the chance to ask these abstract agents the world’s worst of certain things, including advertisements. Another game was called “Vadvillian Jokes”, which involved the audience giving ideas to the actors about bar jokes that involved 101 things. One of them involved 101 Unicorns. An interesting one was called “3 Things”. It mirrored yet another “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” game called “Party Quirks”, in which one of the actors has to guess the situations the other actors are pantomiming, not saying anything but what seems to be “Sims language”. The audience loved the performance and apparently, so did the actors. “A friend in college got me doing improv acting,” Agent Doomsday told me. “I always wanted to do everything, and doing this allows me to be able to do everything.” “Mission: Improvable” has both a Facebook group and a MySpace group. They have video footage on Youtube.com and have information about college tours and their history at www.missionimprovable.com. It is indeed a mission that should be accepted.
