Ben Wishart
Ben is a young fireball improvver™ with an affinity for pantamime. During a game where you don't move and only speak, Ben will go quiet and act out the creation of the cosmos using only his hands and facial expression. Ben was the second Ben to join at team, so we distinguish him by calling him 'Ben Squared'. Not because he's twice the size of the original Ben. Heavens, no.

Christina Swett
'Cricket' was our only girl improvver™ for many moons, and for some reason, stuck it out with us all. Chris brings a randomly Newfoundland accent, occasional squeaks of laughter, and looks of confusion that we can never tell are in character or not.

Flora Whitmore
Flora came from some other university to Wolfville, where she bends like a snake, and erupts in spasms if you wiggle your fingers at her. She's also a mighty-skilled improvver who we are lucky to have showing up on a weekly basis. Especially since we can't stop being tempted by that 'wiggle your fingers at her' thing. Flora not only joined the team, she also adopted all of us as siblings, and hangs out with us despite our obvious lack of social skills.

Mohammed Al-Sahaf
Mo has more middle/last/extra names than we can fit here. He chose those two, but we affectionately just call him 'Mo'. Mo used to think he was no good at improv. We forced him into it, and now he's decided to become the host, and boss us all around. The only thing that gets Mo more riled up that doing a scene wrong is telling him you've never heard of the song 'Comin' Home Baby'.

Stephen Head
Stephen is one of those rare improvvers on our team who know about us before coming to Acadia, instead of being dragged onto the team, kicking and screaming in his third year. Stephen has spent every day since his first being disappointed. Stephen seems to get pigeonholed into the 'victim' in most games, where no matter how it begins... Stephen is the one carrying all the golf clubs for Cthulhu at the Pandimensional Classic Skins game. But does he complain? I think not. He takes it all in stride, casts belittling comments behind Cthulhu's back and wallows in cynicism and wit.

 |
Tom Heinan
Tom joined the team before revealing he is, in fact, a theatre student. A minor in theatre, but still, after his first year we expect him to run out of free/improv time as fast as we've seen our other favorites fall to the time demands of the Acadia Theatre Company. Which is a shame, because he's better than some of our team who have been at it since the 90's.

and also occasionally featuring:
 |
Aidan Shepherd
Aidan is tall, young and mop-toppish. He's kind of like a young George Harrison without the accent. He showed up and had natural talent for acting silly. He has natural talent for endowment games, since he hates telling people the truth.
|
 |
Ben Koenig
Ben likes to believe himself to be the intellectual humour of our little gaggle of miscreants. We like to think of it as "big-word-theatre". Ben is part american, part australian, and part vegetable. We named him 'Onion Bin' for short.

Caroline Roy
Carly found us just in time, as we were afraid she might have become a successful improvver™ in Toronto at some place like Second City or whatever. We wouldn't wish that kind of fame on anyone. Carly has also taught us a bunch of new games we can't play. I guess it's a bit like getting a new puppy. Except the rest of us are the new puppy.

 |
Devon Lee-Barclay
Originally recruited backstage at a small-theatre production of 'Oklahoma'. Devon (admitted scientologist) became known as a song & dance man, then eventually became know as the 'absence and invisibility' man. Devon will come back to us after he's done being a theatrical director in Kentville.

 |
Jon Woodman
Once noble host of the show, in the same way that a conquering Viking captain is the 'Mayor' of the pillaged town, Jon has now retired to middle-Nova-Scotia. Did he 'not actually retire' and in fact embark on a long journey to throw a powerful artifact back into the dormant volcano from whence it came? ... I'm not telling YOU anything... Sauron.

 |
Ross Chapman
The bald guy. He made this website and for some reason... is still in charge of it. He has been with the beavers since before they were beavers. Thrown into authority suddenly and without warning, he has kept the team deaths to a minimal 11. He is also a Technofunk Space Ranger, third class.
