“Laugh Track” Premiers Its First Episode

Garth Taylor ’12 would like to make the rest of your spring semester a little brighter with his new webseries Laugh Track. The show goes behind the scenes with a rag-tag team of college-aged comedy writers as they produce online sketches for their website. Think 30 Rock meets College Humor. In the first episode, “Worst Day Ever…”, certain members of the group get a bit preoccupied, leaving production of the team’s next video solely in the hands of senior member, Stevens Drew (Josh Margolin ’11). The result… is tragic.

WANNABES Episode #5 – “Troll Roles”

In the final installment of the Wesleyan based mockumentary, tensions boil over between Elizabeth Majors ’12, and Charlotte Cummings ’11 (former dance partners) during a rehearsal for James Carlson’s new musical, tediously entitled, “James Carlson Presents: Summer Heights High: The Musical: Part One.” Despite numerous warning signs of immense failure, director James Carlson insists, the show must go on…which it does…barely. See how it all goes down in the final episode of the year!
