Summary

Theatresports is an improv show in which two teams of improvisors challenge each other to a series of improv games, improvised scenes, and other, less classifiable feats.

A group of judges award points, set special 'judges' challenges', and cut short scenes that are boring.

First Run

The initial run of the show started 4/14/07 and ran through the end of June of that year. It was directed by Dav Wallace and Sean Hill.

Second Run

The show was brought back as the Sep/Oct 2010 mainstage show, this time directed by Andy Crouch and Kareem Badr. This run initiated the show's practice of having local businesses sponsor individual teams.

For this one, teams were set at the start of the run, and those teams played together for the duration of the run.
