This is the trivia contest I gave to the troupe Saturday.
Both Ravena_Kade and Ian tied for 10 correct answers. But, she won the tie breaker.

We do three kinds of shows. So, 5 questions based on each of them.
We used to do a lot more of the kids/comedy acts. But, not so many these days. So, I had to keep my questions restricted to the ones we have done lately.

There were some creative answers. Like “Historical #1: planet Earth”. I couldn’t mark it wrong, but did give extra credit to those who had a more precise answer…
