This is the holiday voyage of a Starship to be named by BATS audience! Its mission: to explore new characters, seek out new dangerous and intense relationships, and to boldly go where no improv has gone before... all on the day after Christmas.
Warp Speed is a completely improvised salute to that classic sci-fi TV series of the 60s. Instead seeing Kirk and Spock (or spoofs of Kirk and Spock), audience suggestions will beam aboard an all-new crew of characters, created 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. Directed by Laura Derr.
Founded in 1986, BATS has become the premier improvisational performing company and improv training school in the Bay Area, attracting more than 12,000 audience members and 1,300 workshop enrollments every year.
