Tokay High improvisational comedy troupe debuts tonight

A latte-dizzied renter crawls along the floor trying to track down a bothersome mouse. A hippie becomes a corporate clone after experiencing her first dab of non-organic, but totally exhilarating, hair gel. A family debates its second appearance on the "Maury" show.

Actually, two dozen Tokay High drama students stood in lines on stage in the Sydney Halsey theater Friday, waiting for their turns to dream up and act out impromptu scenes.
