TheatreSports™ as performed by Grand Stretch

TheatreSports™ — a competitively improvised theatrical experience

Teams of improvisers go head to head in rip roaring competition, setting challenges and calling for audience suggestions to fuel round after action-packed round of fully improvised scenes, games, stories, songs, and whatever else it takes to earn points and win out in TheatreSports™ — starring Grand Stretch players and our improv friends.

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!)

1. Open Improv

LETS SHOW EM HOW ITS DONE.

2. The Danish Match

MAY THE AUDIENCE BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR.

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...

3. Regulation Challenge Match

THE CASES ARE REAL. THE RULINGS ARE FINAL.

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...
