THEATRESPORTS: BATTLE-OF-THE-BAY
Fridays in May, the action continues as BATS Improv presents their signature format, "Theatresports", in their annual Battle-of-the-Bay tournament. Each night two teams of the Bay Area's top improv talent face off in a fast paced competition, performing completely improvised scenes, songs, and games.

The audience is involved throughout the entire show, shouting suggestions, booing the judges, and cheering for their favorite scenes. Every show features at least one round of "Audience Challenges" where volunteers are invited to take the stage and play with the pros! (don't worry, they'll make you look great!)

With everything created on the spot, each show is unique and surprising! "Battle-of-the-Bay Theatresports" runs Friday nights through July, culminating with the Championship match on Friday, July 29.

IMPROVISED SHAKESPEARE
The best plays Shakespeare never wrote! Revel in the magic as BATS Improv presents full length tales spun in the style and language of William Shakespeare. Each show will be inspired by audience suggestions and no two show are ever the same. Get thee to the theater and see why BATS Improv has won more than a dozen Best of the Bay awards!
