One random Wednesday in June 2007 Aaron was born while his mother starved and ate ice chips in labor. Once she was finally able to eat a cheeseburger, his life began. Aaron has been devoted to being in the spotlight since day one, after his twin sister came out of the womb first.  He considers playing the Young Kangaroo in his 5th grade production of “Seussical the Musical” his life’s greatest achievement. Onto a darker note, Aaron has forever suffered the effects of a Comedy Central skit made many years ago. To this day, people still mock him with the name “Ay-Ay-Ron”. Because of this, Aaron has decided to start fresh. Although no one has ever called him this in real life, the back of his T-Shirt will say “Scibs”, as a way of metaphorically (not really metaphorically though) starting fresh. In his free time, Aaron likes to stress bake, watch Netflix, hang out with his friends, and ridicule passer-byers. He thrives off of Taylor Swift and Chipotle burrito bowls.

Brody has been acting out characters since he was two years old when his mother made him a homemade Buzz Lightyear jetpack and he never took it off. Since that time, he’s always had a prop, costume and the perfect line at the ready. At a young age he realized he loved the bright lights of the stage and had a talent for acting, singing and making people laugh. He has continued doing shows with multiple groups such as Un-Common Theatre, MMAS and his school’s drama club. A couple of his most favorite and suited roles have been the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz and Nicely Nicely Johnson in Guys and Dolls. He was waiting and training for the day he turned 13 and could audition for the Improv Soup Troupe.  He realized his dream when he earned a spot on the Troupe and could perform with such a great group! 

There hasn’t been a time when Emerson wasn’t performing. Whether it was to try to get attention from her three older siblings, or to see how many people she could make laugh at a party. When she isn’t performing, she’s probably baking, re-watching Glee (again), or practicing her Tony award speech. Emerson is so excited to be a part of Improv Soup and can’t wait to try so many new soups! (Thats what this is right?)

Ikey, otherwise known as Sir Isaac Anthony Findsen Scire, was born one dandy spring morning, in the wee hours of May. His head circumstance was of epic proportions, and many legends were written about it. Being the middle child, he is well versed in boisterous voice projection and negotiating terms for everyday matters. When he isn’t making wise cracks, and eating buffalo mac and cheese, he is making other loud but enjoyable noises with his saxophone. He can often be seen doing marching formations at his high school band practice and completing a number of fabulous “pretty walks”. He looks forward to being a part of Improv Soup!

Ever since Sam was little she loved being funny and making other laugh. Sam also loved improv work, from ” yes and can I have more milk?” to now, ” yes and can I have 20 bucks?”. Sam’s been actively in many theater programs and shows over the past years. She is usually type cast as the comic relief or funny dumb sidekick due to, as past directors say, ” personal knowledge of the character”. Many people find their passions in various sports and hobbies, Sam’s finds her passion, community, and strengths in the performing arts. She one day hopes to turn her passion into a career, possibly making to the big times on SNL. Though all performances have their challenges, Sam hopes they all just keep making her better and stronger.
