Summary

Inspired by the Dropout show Game Changer, join us for an event that will completely change every ten minutes. Will Dropout all-stars Rekha Shankar (Smartypants), Vic Michaelis (Very Important People), Jordan Myrick (Gastronauts), and Jacob Wysocki (Make Some Noise) improvise, talk thoughtfully about their work, play an elaborate game of “Simon Says” with the audience, or all of the above? That remains to be seen, but no matter what they do, they are only going to do it for ten minutes before doing something even crazier.

0:53.5	Hosted by Dropout CEO Sam Reich,
0:55.5	who also is a longtime college humor guy. Game Changer is a game show in which every episode
