SAULT STE MARIE, MI – Lake Superior State University student Sam Carter portrays a concerned spouse as nursing students Elizabeth Allen-Pancheri (foreground) and Robyn Waybrant tend his mannequin-wife in LSSU's Simulation Center on January 30, in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

Carter and 17 other student members of LSSU's ComedySportz College Team improvisational troupe are applying dramatic training to supplement the Center’s five computer-controlled, wireless mannequins that do many things real humans do, including bleed, blink, cry, and even deliver a baby.

For his work, Carter gains academic credit towards a speech and drama minor.
