THEATRESPORTS is high-action short form improv full of comic vengeance!
Relying on razor-sharp wit and lightning-fast reflexes, two teams of performers
are pit against each other in competitive improv matches.
Using audience suggestions to fuel scenes, teams must create totally
improvised situations on the spot.
Each TheatreSports match is overseen by a referee. More than just a whimsical
host, the ref will slap the improvisers with penalties & jabs or reward them
with bonuses as he sees fit. And round after gruelling round, the audience votes
for the best scenes & the sharpest improv.
Weekend shows for Theatresports crowds are bigger and there's a better energy
for improv comedy - however July & August will probably be busy most nights.
Some productions are not suitable for kids (TheatreSports can get a little
raunchy - it's not on TV = no editors)
