In his spare time, my Improvables colleague Ian is both one of the troupe's leaders and is also a counselor in the Layton South stake Young Men's presidency. This weekend, the Young Men of the stake are having their annual youth conference up at Camp Tifie in Morgan (I hadn't heard of it before, either), and Ian invited Jordan and myself to take part in an Improv workshop and performance in the outdoor amphitheater earlier tonight.
Morgan, which I had been to only once before - for a youth conference of my own when I was 17 years old - is a good 45-minute drive east of Layton, but it is really a nice town and a great spot for holding camp (it does, after all, have things like running water, electricity, an indoor movie screen, etc.). The amphitheater held a good 100 or more 16- to 18-year-olds and their leaders, and they were surprisingly enthusiastic about learning Improv skills and joining in with us on a few games, such as "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "Town Hall."
The three of us ended our 90-minute set by playing a handful of one-team games, including - and by audience request - "Two-Line Vocabulary," "Late for Work," "Accents," and (pictured here) "Mumbling Movie Murder Mystery":
Good times were had by all.
