Not one person died during Satori’s annual
skit night.
Characters in the skits at worst fainted,
got knocked out, or went to sleep.
The lack of death appeared to be a response
to Jackie Lyon’s speech about the 23 deaths last year during
skit night. Andrew Bodenstein said, “We’ve started a new tradition
of no one dying.”
The most deaths last year came from a skit in which the entire
group was mysteriously killed after vandalizing a statue of
a flower child.
Kaille Kirkham, an actor in that skit, said she “thought the
deaths were amusing, but I can see why they wouldn’t want them
this year.”
Strangely, several skits were repeated.
Three different groups had skits about skits. Several groups
had felt that other groups had stolen their idea, but group
members said they had not stolen ideas.
“There were a few really good skits, but the skits about skits
got old,” Bodenstein said. Other skits were a bit more original.
There was a skit that made fun of the presidential
debates, being hosted by Ryan Seacrest. Another told of people
selling their souls to Satan to get rich and powerful.
Others ranged from a parody of Indiana Jones,
to guys in drag pretending to be cheerleaders, and even people
doing different television channels. One skit brought back memories
of murder mystery night last year, reliving Mike’s death with
Geico sales pitches.
When asked about what they thought of the
skits, many campers gave rave reviews.
Elliot Eaton said, “I was surprised everything
went so well. Batman and the political debate were awesome!”
Erin Buchholtz said he liked the skit of Carolina Erik and the
quest for the oracle.
