Description
America loves TV Series and in Super Scene: TV Premieres each director has a vision to fulfill: It could be a Mash-Up of two popular shows like: A mystery crossed with an arrogant chef’s kitchen drama, or it could be a behind the scenes documentary of a fictional baking contest, or the staging of a fantasy world with dragons and magic. Show director and BATS co-founder Rebecca Stockley describes Super Scene: TV Premieres as “a fast-paced, rip-roaring theatre competition”. Five directors create five completely improvised stories, each with a unique tone or genre, But there’s a catch – stories unfold one scene at a time, round by round. After each round, the audience selects, with their applause, the stories that continue, and which story is eliminated. This process continues, and the scenes evolve, until the final round, where only one story remains and the SUPER SCENE is performed.
How Super Scene came to BATS involves a bit of an odyssey, and reveals the international scope of improv and BATS’ connection to that world wide community. Created at Calgary's Loose Moose Theatre, Super Scene was introduced to BATS Company Players William Hall and Tim Orr by German improvisers at a 2012 Amsterdam Improv Festival. They brought the format back to BATS, where it has been performed annually ever since. Tickets for BATS Improv shows range from $15-$25, with Pay-What-You-Will tickets available on the second Saturday of the month.
Tickets may be purchased online or in person beginning half-hour before the performance. All performances take place in BATS Bayfront Theatre in the historic Landmark Building B on the Fort Mason campus in San Francisco. Paid parking is available in the adjoining lot.
