Warp Speed is a completely improvised salute to the classic sci-fi TV series of the 60s. Its mission: to explore new characters, to seek out new dangerous and intense relationships, and to boldly go where no improv has gone before. Instead of seeing Kirk and Spock (or spoofs of Kirk and Spock), audience suggestions will beam aboard an all-new crew of characters, created and introduced on the spot.
Like every show at BATS, nothing will have been pre-planned or discussed in advance. There are no “stock characters” or pre-determined plot points or situations. Everything from the plot, to the dialogue, to the characters, to the music — and even the lighting cues — will be made up on the spot.
