Friday night improv just got better; it's now Big Dang Friday! Fourth Fridays feature a rainbow of variety with SG house teams Rainbow Rats and Electric Cactus!

The quick-witted rodents of Stomping Ground's LTBTQIA+ Team Rainbow Rats will spin your suggestions into side-splitting scenes, creating stories on the spot that are as diverse and vibrant as the rainbow itself. From relatable queer experiences to absurd flights of fancy, nothing is off-limits as the Rats navigate the unpredictable world of improv. Whether you're a long-time improv enthusiast or just looking for a fun and inclusive night out, the Rainbow Rats are ready to deliver a performance you won't soon forget. Come join the pack – it's gonna be a wild ride! Featuring Jared Javier Enriquez, Victoria Hines, Lupe Guzman Jr, Siali Siaosi, Nan Kirkpatrick, Will Holston, Nik Malev, and Sarah Woynicz. Rainbow Rats are coached by Milo Michelle Wilder and Stephanie Bell.

Electric Cactus weaves a tapestry of scenes born from a single, whispered word, a fleeting gesture, a shared breath—and the crackling energy of a phantom circuit. Forget plot, forget structure. This is an exploration of the subconscious, a dance with the unseen, charged by the unpredictable spark of electricity. Watch as characters emerge, not fully formed, but as fragments of dreams, embodying emotions and archetypes rather than defined roles. Wires tangle, sparks fly, and the very fabric of reality shimmers with an electric tension. This is improv unchained, a journey into the heart of the abstract, where the current is always live. Electric Cactus features Stephanie Bell, Nicole Brown, Chris Eisterhold, Will Holston, Andrew Kennedy, Joel Mendez-Zarate, Tristen Rouse, Tyler Vornberg, and Lin Woodson. They are coached by Greg Mihalik.
