We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved friend, mentor, and teacher, Keith Johnstone. As with improv companies and performers around the world, we would not be doing what we do were it not for him. Below, you will read about some of the deep impacts and shared memories with Keith. BATS Improv would like to share our condolences to the Johnstone family and all of those close to him.

Throughout the pandemic and beyond, BATS has brought in-person shows and classes to thousands of audience members and students, bringing joy and connection to our community online and in person. While we’ve done a great job bouncing back, we haven’t been able to get the funds to rid ourselves of the ghost who haunts the Bayfront Theater!
