More on The Bad Dog Theatre Company
Description from Wikipedia:
Bad Dog Theatre company is an improvisational theatre company based in Toronto, Canada, and established in 2003. The theatre is eclectic and broad in its production of shows, with a focus on short-form improv, but it has branched out to include the work of other schools of thought in improvisation.
While short form improvisation is still a mainstay as in the weekly Theatresports shows, the theatre has embraced long form improv with the weekly Harold Night at the Bad Dog, musical improv in the form of Show Stopping Number: The Improvised Musical and 'Troubadour' and parody shows like (The Lord of the Things, A Twisted Christmas Carol) and Dreadwood.
Several of the theatre's productions and co-productions have been nominated for Canadian Comedy Awards, and the theatre at 138 Danforth Avenue in Toronto has been twice-named 'Best Improv Theatre' in Toronto by Now Magazine's annual 'Best of Toronto' awards.
In addition, free introductory workshops in improvisation are provided to the general public, every Saturday at 7 pm (at the time of this writing). ==History==
The Bad Dog Theatre Company was founded in 2003, but has it's roots back in 1982 as Theatresports Toronto. The company's work was based around that of director and playwright, Keith Johnstone. The company performed weekly improvisational comedy shows at
Harbourfront in the Theatresports format. The show consisted of team competition with team names such as Dangerous Poultry, The Parts, The Chumps and The Kids in the Hall. Some of these groups went on to greater fame.
The theatre has twice been honoured by Toronto's NOW Magazine's annual 'Best of Toronto' as the best improv theatre in Toronto.
