By:

BATS Improv presents Improvised Shakespeare every Saturday for two months, running Saturdays, April 4 - May 30 from 8pm - 10pm at the Bayfront Theater (B350 Fort Mason Center, San Francisco, CA 94123).

Improvised Shakespeare: Starting with a title chosen by the audience, BATS merry band of improvisers creates a full-length play in the style and language of The Bard. No two shows are ever the same but every show is a great night of improvised Shakespearean theatre. Get thee to the theater and experience the magic that is BATS' Improvised Shakespeare.

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. Email - bats@improv.org.

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.
