Major: Undecided hosts first show of fall season

    Senior Dan Casey insists that students who make time this weekend for Major: Undecided's super-topical show, "Major: Undecided Doesn't Care If Your Roommate Is There," should expect to receive more than just an hour of hilarity.
    "If people take anything away from our show, it should be a newfound confidence that they can have sex in front of their roommates, their parents or anyone else who might try to infringe upon their constitutional rights," joked Casey, the president of the student comedy troupe. "In short, people will leave our show and finally understand what is meant by the Light on the Hill."
    The Saturday evening show's title refers to the media sensation surrounding Tufts' new policy disallowing sexual activity in dorm rooms while roommates are present. Casey said the performance will be an exciting premiere of fresh content.
    "This is our first show of the semester, consisting of brand-new, never-before-seen, student-written, student-performed, student-produced sketch comedy," Casey said.
    He and other veterans will be joined by freshman players, who will entertain after weeks of writing, sketch selection, auditioning and rehearsals.
    "Like perhaps every other comedian in America, we'll be making a biting, topical joke at Tufts' expense. Well, that, and naming our show ‘Major: Undecided Publicly Slanders Your Parents' might alienate some of our Parents Weekend visitors," Casey said humorously, referring to the fact that the show will coincide with Tufts' annual Parents Weekend.
    The show will consist of nine sketches, covering topics ranging from whistles for special occasions to crustacean-themed reality shows.
    Casey hopes that the show will not only provide a much-needed laugh to many students, but will also be an eye-opening experience.
    "Major: Undecided Doesn't Care If Your Roomate Is There" takes the Cabot Auditorium stage at 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday and is free. More information can be found at ase.tufts.edu/majorundecided or at twitter.com/majorundecided.
