14th Annual Summer Improv Festival
Ten "One-Night-Only" Performances of Fan Favorites

San Francisco's oldest improv festival coincides with a month of intensive improv training at BATS' annual Summer School, which offers workshops and week-long improv "camps" for youth, teens and adults from around the world.

Our festival features several performances in the long-form improvisational format--the signature format developed by BATS and now widely referred to as "San Francisco-style improv." Shows during August include fan-favorites The News Show, Make-Your-Own Musical, The Harold, Spontaneous Broadway, The Life Game™ Improvised Shakespeare, and Improvised Tarantino. We also welcome special guest troupe True Fiction Magazine, and present our most popular Theatresports matches of the year: the championship match of the "Battle of the Bay" tournament and the yearly "grudge" match between BATS and LATS (Los Angeles Theatresports)!
