What’s Closing Time? Closing Time is a comedic late-night show on Emerson Channel. It’s been such an incredible experience being in the writers’ rooms and in the studio. As the co-host, I performed on the show along with the wonderful host, Amanda Breen, performing content written by Amanda and I as well as other Closing Time writers, in addition to interviewing special guests and the writers themselves. I’ve learned so much from everyone around me, and it was an amazing first experience with Emerson Channel. Everyone is so good at what they do.
Favorite Closing Time memory? I love the opening credits, with the musical riff that plays under it, as I announce Amanda and the audience cheers for the show to start. The energy is always so wonderful, and sent us laughing into the show every time.
What other organizations are you a part of on campus? The sketch comedy troupe Jimmy’s Traveling All-Stars, Mercutio Troupe, have been involved in student theatre with Emerson Shakespeare Society, Rareworks Theatre Company, and Kidding Around.
