Just a Ruby Minute
summary
An onstage adaptation of the British panel game runs as a thirty‑minute, interactive improv contest where four contestants (Aaron Patterson, Andy Croll, Kerri Miller, Sam Phippen) try to hold the floor for 60 seconds per topic while avoiding hesitation repetition deviation; the room supplies buzzers piano applause air horn and a visible timer, challenges steal turns, and points track outcomes — Sam Phippen wins with 15 points, the format proves lively, scoring reliable, and the improv mostly successful.
