Match Page
All
summer long, teams playing as residents of various San Francisco
neighborhoods and 'burbs (and even some out-of-towners!) will
battle head-to-head in our annual Battle-of-the-Bay Theatresports
Tournament!
In this tournament, BATS' improvisational troupe divides into
3-person teams,
two of which square off each night in performing improvised
games, songs, or scenes inspired by audience suggestions.
Judges award points and designate each night's winning team,
which advances to the next round. The tournament culminates
in a championship match on August 2, and the champs playing
Los Angeles Theatresports (LATS) in the finale to our summer
festival in August.
Invented by Keith Johnstone, Theatresports is improvisation played as a sporting event. SF Weekly named Battle-of-the-Bay Theatresports a "Pick of the Week" calling it "a medley of off-the-cuff games, songs, and scenes."
Online
box office closes at 7 p.m. the night of the show. Remaining
tickets can be purchased at the theater the night of the
show.
