“Questionable Content” Returned for One Night Only to Pocket Theater

After a rousing warm-up and welcome to Pocket Theater by Clayton Weller, David Rollison ably stepped up to Host the evening. Very quickly he got the two teams on stage. The team seated to the audience’s right: And Yet They Persisted—Sarah Skilling, Bridget Quigg and Mike Masilotti. On the left side of the stage sat Endangered Reese’s Pieces: Phill Arensberg, Tyler Schnupp, and Greg Stackhouse. All of the panelists were sketch comedy, improv theater, or stand-up comedy veterans. In the center of the stage is a screen for video projection. The “sidekick” and Scorekeeper for the show was Martin Stillion.
