Major:Undecided 'Falls' into comedy

    Tufts' sketch comedy group will wrap up a year of making students laugh tonight with its final show of the semester, "Major:Undecided Falls Out of Everything." And while there will be an opening video dedicated to the title of the show, don't expect just an evening's worth of pratfalls.
    "The title of the show doesn't represent the theme. If you had to have a theme, I'd say it's ‘funny,'" said Brian Agler, public relations director for Major:Undecided.
    Friday's show will be the last performance for Major: Undecided's large crop of seniors, including president Rachel Chervin, artistic director Patrick Wilson and campus liaison Mark Paglia. The show will include a seniors-only sketch featuring its graduating members. However, fans of the comedy group shouldn't despair; while the show will include writing and acting from its veteran members, there are also sketches by new writers as Major:Undecided looks forward to next year.
    The show features sketches about a Navy captain who loves slam poetry, jilted lovers on an airplane, and a comedic take on, of all things, Russian roulette. Rather than a focus on plot, the laughs are driven largely by character work.
    "In every sketch, you'll be able to pick out a definable character that's really just hilarious," Agler said, an approach that allows the group to show off both its writing and acting chops.
    "Major:Undecided Falls Out of Everything" runs twice tonight in Cabot Auditorium, with a 7:30 p.m. show for $3 and a 9:30 p.m. show for $5. The show will run approximately one hour and 15 minutes.
