To set the stage: Duke University Improv’s (DUI) orientation-week show for new first-years. We ask for a suggestion of a word—any word at all. Responses are weak, which is to be expected, and finally we’re able to pull a quiet noun out of a boy in the front row. “Bomb.” Endless opportunity (please, no terrorism). So many directions that this could go in (don’t mention the 11th of September). Where will this word take us?
