Who Loves Lazy Zipper the Most?
Now in its fifteenth year, Lazy Zipper is the campus’s much-loved comedy improv group, whose shows are pure fun. Performing recently before a packed crowd in Wanamaker Hall, the group presented sketches covering a wide range of topics. But as much as audience members love Lazy Zipper, the performers love it even more!
Junior Abbie Steckler expresses boundless enthusiasm for the student-run group: “I love being part of Lazy Zipper so much!” she exclaims. “We spend a lot of time preparing for our shows by practicing improv exercises and doing team building. It’s so satisfying to watch the whole team progress and improve. Everyone is so dedicated, and there is no sense of ego.”
“Most team members have little or no theatre background, and it’s a great way to connect with a group who may not be friends otherwise,” explains senior Lila Morse. “Lazy Zipper is a light-hearted activity for students to explore acting.”
“We work together as a team to construct and polish a show,” adds senior Cameron Wells, who has been part of Lazy Zipper all four years at the College. “I’ve really enjoyed learning how to work better with others while on stage— and, of course, laughing a lot!”
