Improv Challenge 

Improv Challenge is an exciting program, where competing troupes are all mixed together into teams of five improvisers from different schools. All team members have learned to play the same competitive games at their home schools, but must learn very quickly how to play them effectively with their new teammates! The event requires improvisers to be flexible, good listeners, commit to practicing the games prior to conference, give and take from their other performers, and most of all willing to play!

Teams will be evaluated on their ability to work together as a cohesive unit, to demonstrate the fundamentals of improv theatre, adhere to the structures of the games, and to play at the top of their intelligence. Teams who manage this successfully will advance from the preliminary round to the finals at Junior Conference. The top two teams will be crowned IMPROV CHAMPIONS and receive an award at Jr. ThesCon.
