Theatre Sports

We are seeking Secondary students who have strengths in improvisation and creativity on the stage.

Theatre Sports is improvised theatre entertainment played as a spectator sport.

Teams of players invent scenes from a provided stimulus with no preparation time.

The teams are judged on their ability to follow the rules of each game, deliver a cohesive story line, and entertain the audience.

It is fast-paced, unpredictable and hilarious… And best of all – it’s great fun to perform!

  • Open to ALL students in Years 7-12.
  • Rehearsals held in Terms 1-3 with inter-school competitions late in Term 3.
  • Rehearsals at 3:30pm – 4:30pm Wednesday afternoons.
  • Two teams: Junior (Years 7-9 Students) and Senior (Years 10-12 Students).
  • Students are to wear theatre blacks or the Canterbury Sport Uniform to rehearsals.
