Teams of improvisers go head to head in rip-roaring competition — raising the stakes with every challenge and risking their score in round after action-packed round of fully improvised scenes, stories, songs, and anythings else that could earn them enough points to win TheatreSports™!
TheatreSports™ is a high-octane theatrical experience that entertains and educates audiences and performers alike. You never know what to expect! Any given performance is capable of inducing fits of laughter, heartfelt tears, provoking thought and the kind of divisive, uproarious heat you could only expect of a true sporting event!
IT’S ALL TO PLAY FOR!
(Let us play!)
Whatever TheatreSports™ has in store for you, this much is certain: there will be winners, there will be losers, and everyone will get involved!
Shout out suggestions to inspire scenes! Boo, jeer and hiss at Judges for overly stingy scores! (Or for overly generous scores, at that!) Hold players accountable for rude, crude or offensive behaviour! Or just sit back and watch the mayhem play out...
GIVING IT AWAY.
(10 mins)
Before the competition kicks off, we like to ease ourselves into TheatreSports™ with 10 - 15 mins of an Open Impro warm up. It's also an ideal opportunity to share some of our impro techniques, to teach our favourite exercises and highlight what we can take away from them.
BE HONEST WITH US.
(30 mins)
In lieu of Judges, a Moderator will facilitate our Danish Match, in which the audience decides which scenes should be awarded points after each round. Most significantly, our Moderator is authorised to ‘honk’ a horn at their behest, and to to sanction a 'basket' with dire consequences...
THE CASES ARE REAL. THE RULINGS ARE FINAL.
(30 mins)
Our esteemed Judges panel award points to at their discretion throughout our Regulation Challenge Match. The panel are also authorised to issue warnings and dole out penalties as they see fit — and the all-important horns and basket are still very much in play...
