Where this was said
Dartmouth, Dog Day Players, and the Rockapellas

Mindy was in two activities at Dartmouth she now finds mortifying: the Dog Day Players short-form improv troupe and the Rockapellas a cappella group, where she sang '9 to 5' as her one allotted solo. She and Amy swap affectionate ribbing about both — improv's zip-zap warmups done outside, the group costumes and wigs, the crushing contrast of watching a stand-up flip a cigarette in a leather jacket before striding onstage. But both women acknowledge these activities were where they made lifelong friends and learned to perform in front of people, even if the aesthetic hasn't aged well. Mindy notes that the current Dog Day Players do long-form, are activists, and are feminist — all the things the late '90s version couldn't quite be.
