To celebrate BATS Improv’s 40th anniversary in November 2026, we’re launching a year of 40th Specialty Classes. Every month, we’ll bring back a class from the past four decades—some taught by the original coaches who created them, and others updated by a new generation of coaches. It’s a chance to revisit the skills and formats that made BATS what it is today, learn something new, and connect across 40 years of improv history!

January's 40th Class: The Joy of Theatresports™ with Rebecca Stockley

Created by Keith Johnstone, Theatresports is the format that inspired BATS Improv, Theatresports, is a playful, lively format featuring teams of improvisers challenging one another to scenes and games.

It’s a structure developed to create a freewheeling experience for the improvisers, and a sporting competition for the audience. Explore the game, and how to play it.
