It was popular among college students and millennials alike as it had the nostalgia factor of the ‘90s and early 2000s. Audience members commented on how they loved the music chosen for the show.

There were 455 tickets sold with 242 tickets belonging to SDSU Students.

Maiah Brown, an audience member who came to see the Friday night show, said she loved the theme.

“It allowed for one plot of a family entering the new century to flow through the entire show. We kept seeing the family bit coming back while also seeing funny skits from iconic events of the 2000s in the meantime.”

When asked what her favorite skit was, Brown said it was Dora exploring The Nine.

“The actor who played Dora was hilarious and he had the whole audience laughing. It was also kind of an interactive skit as we got to answer Dora’s questions.”

Kaden Sivertsen, an audience member from opening night, also commented on the Dora skit saying how he thought the actor for Dora was “phenomenal.”

Sivertsen also enjoyed the theme saying, “Despite not necessarily being a 90’s kid there were a lot of callbacks and things I still related to as a child.”

Preston VanderWal, a second-time Capers cast member, said it was great to finally perform in front of an audience.

“It was so rewarding to finally be able to show everyone the skits and dances that we worked so hard to make.”

When asked what his favorite skit was, VanderWal said it was Furby.

“Any skit with the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council Endowed Dean of the College of Agricultural and Biological Sciences would be my favorite to be honest.”

VanderWal says he is excited for Capers next year and plans on writing his own skit.

Reilly Sazdoff, a second-time Capers cast member, said the audience couldn’t stop laughing.

“The biggest laugh, I think, was probably for Dora Explores the 9 or when Barry Dunn showed up in the Furby skit, which was both very well deserved.”

Sazdoff said it was fun to get to perform the skits and dances they had worked so hard on in front of an audience.

“Since it’s a kind of comedy show, part of the performance really relies on the audience’s reaction so it was great to finally get to interact with them and play off of each audience’s energy.”

Beau Schoenfelder, Capers Script Head, said this production of Capers is one of his favorite experiences at SDSU. He said there were many hurdles to jump over, but with patience and trust, they got through it.

“My favorite part of the show was laughing with all the people I got to create it with.”

Alpha Psi Omega President, Reagan Black, said the audience loved the production.

“People had very positive things to say, and it was obvious that they liked it because of how much they laughed during the show.”

Black said the run of the show went super well because of everyone’s hard work.

“Even during the last show, the performers had great energy and were committed to giving a memorable performance.”

As for next year’s Capers, Black said the members of Alpha Psi Omega will share their ideas and then vote on a new theme.
