BATS Improv Presents IMPROVISED DOWNTON ABBEY Tonight

By:

BATS Improv will be performing an Improvised Downton Abbey full of secrets, rivalres, and romance every Saturay night from tonight, January 11th until February 22nd! The show will take place at the Bayfront Theater (B350 Fort Mason Center, San Francisco, CA 94123).

Enter the world of a privileged but troublEd English estate set in the early 20th century. It's a world inspired by the hit PBS show Downton Abbey, but you won't see Sybil, Matthew, or Violet. Instead, you'll be surprised by new and completely improvised characters and stories, all created on the spot and inspired by audience suggestions.

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.

Tickets are $17 general admission, $20 at the door, and are available through the BATS website www.improv.org or by phone (415) 474-6776. Please email bats@improv.org for any further questions.
