Fall Theatre Performances from BATS Improv September 5, 2008

BATS Improv's Fall Theatre Season runs every Friday and Saturday night, Sept. 5-Nov. 1, and features nine different performance formats from its professional improv ensemble.

The season features a multi-date Theatresports competition, in which two new teams square off each night in performing improvised games, songs, or scenes based on ideas shouted out by audience members. Judges award points and designate each night's winning team. Additional performances also feature BATS' signature "long-form" improvisational format-in which entire stories and plays are acted out based on audience suggestions. Shows include Double Feature, The Life Game, Warp Speed, The News Show, All-Male and All-Female Shakespeare versions, and special guest performances by 3 FOR ALL, True Fiction Magazine, and the Stanford Improvisers (SImps).

$12-$20.
