Silly string and robotic music filled the air on Nov. 13 as SF State’s Six Small Meals presented its free improv show, "Breakfast." Theater Professor Sal Colony presented the show, which started promptly at 6 p.m., in the small theatre located in the Creative Arts building. The main characters of Six Small Meals consisted of Theater Majors Robert Selander, Sean Lee, Misty Day, Seth Wright, Arnon Clark and Sasha Sabelnik.

As the doors opened to the public, more than 35 people rushed into the small black theatre and were greeted by 90s techno music. One of the performers was doing the robot as bubbles flew and filled the air. The audience sat in chairs positioned to look down on the performers and encourage more participation. "The whole idea with improv is to interact with the audience," Colony said.

The sarcastic mood, set by Colony's jokes about his background, prepared the audience for the hilarious show.

"Even though he was talking about his life," said Amy Syndinger, 21, psychology major, "He was funny because of how animated he was."

These improv students practice on campus every Tuesday at noon to prepare for their shows. At times, these students, who always wear red t-shirts while performing, run around campus and act out the most abstract shows and actions. The many random acts performed by these students include tugging and pulling on a statue on campus and later falling to the ground unexpectedly. "I gotta admit I waited around the quad to watch them," said Gabriel Marques, 22, an SF State student. "They do some bizarre stuff out there."

As Colony introduced the show, the room grew quiet and the performers got into place. Robert Sealander slipped and fell, as part of the act, while Day pretended to be a seductive woman posing for a picture. Random falls and character changes began the show and demonstrated the talent these students have. "One minute they were one character and the next minute they turned into inanimate objects," said Justin Roman, 24, a cinema major. "That’s talent to be able to switch up like that."

After the intermission, Colony explained the next game and encouraged the audience to interact with the actors. For example, during the game "Die," the audience had to scream "die!" if the actor began to stutter or get stuck while in character. The audience screamed "DIE!!" at Clark, who was the first one to stutter. Clark fell to the ground as if he had just been shot in the chest. "I think what made that so fun was that we got to take part in the comedy," said Carina Estebez, 19, an SF State student.

The final game of the night was introduced as the show was close to the end. "That’s the Crime," required the audience to think of a crime that the chosen actor, Sabelnik, had to guess. Sabelnik, who didn’t know the crime, improvised as the other actors asked questions and gave hints on the crime. Students screamed, laughed and clapped as Sabelnik acted as if she knew the crime. "Her answers were hella funny," said Erica Simons, 25, a business major. "She could switch up the story and that just made it even funnier."

The show came to an end as the performers were introduced and bowed to the crowd. Loud applause echoed through the room while the performers threw candy at the crowd. Many stayed after the show to give their appreciation to the actors. "I had to tell them how off the hook they were," said Jamal Cyrus, 19, an SF State student. "I’m just glad I came because it was entertaining."

Six Small Meals practice every Tuesday at noon in the quad and can be seen in an upcoming December show. No date has been set.
