Whose Troupe is it Anyway?

I went to the In Case of Emergency Improv Show last night after my rehearsal. It was their last show of the year and they had Alumni from previous years of the Troupe join the cast. It went like any other Improv show, game here, laughs everywhere, you name it.
My personal favorite was them performing an Irish Drinking Song. I love that game! It's from the TV show "Whose Line is it Anyway". Basically they have to make up a song one line at a time about a certain subject, like so:
Even with bringing back "Irish Drinking Song" that wasn't even the highlight of the night! Their final game was "The Proposal", which has a couple (in this case Chris Skurka and Katie Rogala) with the boyfriend trying to propose, but various obstacles and random strangers interrupt. About hallway through the game, one of the alumni, Sean Fahey, takes Chris' place as the boyfriend and completely goes off track from the story Katie and Chris created. She had no idea what was about to happen: he pulled out a ring and proposed to her right onstage!
All of the girls in the audience were, well, acting like girls, and going "awwww" (myself included). She said yes!
Now that was a great way to end the year for the Troupe! It was a joy going to their shows this year, and I can't wait to audition next year and see what the Troupe will have in store for next year!
The newly-engaged couple :)
