Scholar's Improv IV: A NEW DOPE
Registration
Registration is now closed (this event already took place).
Details
Led by improv comic Pete Parsons, the comedians will present six improvised scenes, showcasing their talent, quick minds, and artistry. These moments will be interspersed with mini-lectures by DePaul professors, each accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation in his or her field but which he or she has never seen before.
By the end of the evening, you’ll see that what academicians do by thinking, thinking on their feet, and making others think is a real art, and that what professional improv comedians do is a similarly intellectually and aesthetically rich enterprise worthy of serious scholarly reflection–as well as laughter. And the Death Star blows up (spoiler alert).
Featuring:
Megan Alderden (Criminology)
Steve Harp (The Art School)
Rick Lee (Philosophy)
Jaime Waters (Catholic Studies)
Improv Comedians: Lisa Burton, Tim Dunn, Alaina Hoffman, Terrance Rogers, and Pete Parsons
