Monday Night Live (2nd Show)

Monday Night Live is done every few months. This is a shame, because it is very popular on campus. After the superbowl (Congrats G.B.) MNL (Monday Night Live) was on the brain. The actors were preparing, the costumes were getting put into boxes, the props were being counted, and the audience was gathering. On the MNL Facebook event page, over 200 people said they would be coming.

Over 200 people were jammed into the HKP Recital Hall. Some students were on the laps of others while most students were sitting on the aisles. One of the cast members peeked through a backstage door and told the cast that there were more people standing than there were people sitting. The nerves were about to burst through the roof. Although nerves were high, the excitement in that recital hall was much more immense.

The cast is made up of PBA students and 2 Resident Directors, Jeff Timmer(RD of Weyenberg Hall, Rinker Hall, and Samaritan Garden Apartments) and Amy Burroughs (RD of Baxter Hall). It is evident that they are all in it for the fun. They have been preparing for their February Show since their last show, in October, ended. It takes a long time to prepare for these things, like script writing and video editing.

Monday Night Live is similar to
Saturday Night Live. There's a host and a musical guest for each MNL show. It is composed of various skits that are each separated by a video clip. At the very end, the video bloopers are shown.

For now, the MNL cast is preparing for their April showing. It would be nice to have a March MNL, but there just isn't enough time to prepare. I think I can speak for the entire student body when I say, we are super excited for the April MNL.
