Case Spotlight: Michael Benning
When you think of the members of a short-form improvisational comedy troupe, you probably think theater majors. However, Case breaks the mold with IMPROVment: out of its 17 members, half of them are pursuing other majors. For example, when not performing in the Black Box Theater, junior Michael Benning is a management major with a marketing concentration and an English minor.
“Marketing manages to take some of my strongest interests—design, writing and music—and combine them into a career,” he says.
Michael has helped with the promotion of the troupe around campus and has used his improv skills to improve his impromptu public speaking. This helped him and his partner to place second out of 20 when they represented Case in the University of Arizona’s Eller Ethics Case Competition. Besides IMPROVment, Michael keeps busy in the Peter B. Lewis Building as part of the Case Marketing Association and the American Advertising Federation.
