Control Top! is an all-female long-form improvised comedy group, founded in 2011.
History
Control Top was founded in Fall 2011 by Charlie Dinkin. The original members were Colette McIntyre, Jessie Cohen, Kaitlyn Kaufman, Maddie Provo, Molly Dellheim, Olivia Levine and Reni Calister. So far the group has been made up entirely of Barnard students, but any Columbia University undergrad is eligible to audition. Their coach is Justin Grace of Dog Court.
The Name
Control Top! was originally the name of a (now-defunct) band, featuring Molly Dellheim, Charlie Dinkin and several other members who prefer not to be identified. After an initial photo-shoot they realized that no one involved could play an instrument and disbanded, leaving the name (and facebook page) available for use by the newly formed improv group (formerly known as gurlprov). Whether on not the exclamation point is an integral part of the name, or merely an optional add-on, remains a hotly debated topic within the group and the community at large.
Shows
Control Top has performed in, on and around the Columbia and Barnard campuses and at various events.
