But the Blue Team (with Adam Hoskins, Caroline Leopold, Lauren Geschel and captain Sue Taney) didn’t make it easy, taking the lead at one point by impressing the discriminating eyes of the audience judges.
The performance was a traditional ComedySportz format show with the class instructor, Kelly Jennings, serving as the referee. The show was the culmination the Summer Session 401, which always ends with a class performance for family, friends and supporters. For more information visit our classes section.
