About this Event
Step into the chaotic world of startups in The Startup: An Improvised Silicon Valley Story. Watch as founders chase investors, argue over big ideas, and stumble through awkward meetings, office drama, and wild “aha!” moments. Every performance is completely improvised, full of laughter, surprises, and unpredictable twists that capture the ups and downs of chasing a dream. No tech experience required ~ anyone who has ever had a crazy idea, a boss who drives them nuts, or a plan that goes hilariously wrong will relate. No two shows are alike, so come see what this startup will do next!

At BATS Improv, one of our core values is respect for our audience. We understand that some people hesitate to sit up front because they’re worried about being "picked on." That’s not our style.
While we may invite audience members to join us on stage, it’s always your choice—and if you do, we’ll treat you with the same respect and playfulness that we bring to the entire show. No embarrassment, no mean-spirited jokes—just a fun, welcoming experience for everyone.
So sit where you like, relax, and enjoy the show!

Please Note: Improv can be unpredictable! While most BATS performances are suitable for teens and some adventurous middle-schoolers, we recommend considering what other entertainment your child enjoys. We provide general show descriptions—like rom-com, comedy, or drama—and will flag any content that may include violence, such as in “Improvised Kung Fu.” Ultimately, we trust parents to use their judgment in deciding what’s appropriate for their child.
