Our challenge for the week was to recreate a scene from a movie, adapted for the stage (much like what Bob Ladewig did for the first season's free-for-all finale). We were allowed one friend to help us perform and one of the judging criteria was recreation of details.

I recruited my friend Bilal Dardai and performed the "beating up the printer" scene from Office Space.
