Double Feature Fridays!
Double Feature(TM) presents two completely improvised stories that unfold simultaneously. Just four talented improvisers (and one musician) spontaneously create two distinct stories, unique in genre, tone, and character...and it's all inspired by two original titles supplied by the audience. The improvisers play multiple characters (often in the same scene) and then bounce back and forth between two stories.

Theatresports Saturdays!
The Theatresports show format treats audiences to an entertaining and engaging night of theater and comedy-presented as a sporting competition! Shows feature two teams of improvisers performing a variety of scenes and musical numbers which are scored by judges. The audience is involved throughout the show, shouting suggestions, voting for their favorite scenes, and audience volunteers are invited to participate in one of the rounds. At the end of the night, one team wins, moving closer to the title of Tournament Champion. Everything is created on the spot making each show absolutely unique and surprising!

Naked Theatresports (throughout May, Championship Final on June 5)
For this tournament, instead of wearing big costumes and forming wildly-themed teams, we're kickin' it old school by performing in our street clothes and just focusing on doing great improv. So we're not literally naked...in case you were wondering.

Battle of the Bay Theatresports (June 12 through August 1)
For the Battle of the Bay, BATS Company players divide into six unique Bay Area-themed teams. Each show is completely improvised and based on suggestions from you, the audience!

Starting Fridays in July: Improvised Musicals!
More information soon about such exuberant formats as Make-Your-Own Musical and Spontaneous Broadway. The audience suggests titles and plot elements, which our talented team of improvisers turns into a musical extravaganza.
