Description

This is really a series of 3 3-act plays mixed. Three separate plays are played, each based on different audience suggestions, and not related at all. We first see the three first acts for every play, then the three second acts, and finally the three final acts.

Variations

Some folks play each act in a different style, usually a kind of play (say Shakespeare), a kind of movie (say a spaghetti western) and something musical (say a musical or an opera).

Origin

The format was invented by Forrest Brakeman at LA Theatresports in 1989; it is licensed (you need a license to perform the format). Since 1989 LA Theatresports has morphed into Impro Theatre (LA).
