Props and Weirdness at Skit Night

Famous around the world - or at least around Satori Camp - Skit Night was once again a huge success.

Skit Night is similar to the primetime show Whose Line Is It Anyway? in which actors improvise their way through skits. In the Satori version, nine groups of ten campers each chose six props. Then, they had 35 minutes to come up with a scenario involving the props - without using them as what the props really were.

The first performance was the counselors’ science fiction skit. While Tyler Burnett and Nathan Collins, as Captain Valiant and Trusty Robot, provided enthralling performances, a young Madeline Edminster stole the show when she gave the audience an impromptu verse of Little Bunny Foo Foo.

Skit topics varied widely, with spoofs on such movies as Monty Python and The Holy Grail and Lord of the Rings, as well as television shows like Fear Factor. One group acted out a war between the Evil Empire and the forces of Oz. Another group killed a hippie, only to make her a statue.

Cooper Henderson’s skit about the Wyoming Coast Guard was not only imaginative, but well done with a cast that included only two veteran campers.

Originality points go to the cast of “Spandex Troopers” and their Power Rangers-style defeats of some of Satori’s deadly foes: food, dirty underwear, and the lack of a beat in dance class.

The props were various random objects, each special in its own way. A plastic hammer became a phone, a “magic fluff ball” was bestowed on adventurers in one skit, a killer bunny - a stuffed animal - attacked, and a candle was used an aerosol can.

While most of Satori enjoyed skit night, there was one complaint. Collin Deel, paying heed to the plea of Satori’s leaders to maintain a nonviolent environment, counted 23 deaths during the night. One death was the unfortunate passing of a turkey.
