OTRimprov (Cincinnati, OH) - OTRimprov (OTRi) began in 2010 as a collection of wayward improvisers looking for like-minded performers and a place to play in Cincinnati. After headlining numerous shows for the Little Big Night comedy performances at Know Theatre of Cincinnati (as “Off the Rocks Improv,”) they formed their own partnership with Know Theatre’s Jackson Street Market, a resource sharing program for fledgling companies, and began producing shows independently. This continued partnership allows them to call Know’s Underground space on Jackson St. in Over-the-Rhine home for a majority of OTRi perfromances.

OTRimprov will take stories from Missed Connections on Craigslist and see what happens when these two romantic souls make a love connection.

Calvinball (Toronto, ON) - Calvinball began as a Harold team with Toronto's Impatient Theatre Co. in September 2012. After the company folded in May 2013, Calvinball continued to perform independently at various comedy shows around Toronto, and at festivals in Toronto, Detroit, and New York. In April 2014, Calvinball began producing Calvinball Comedy, a monthly improv show at The Social Capital Theatre.

Calvinball plays an organic, longform, game-based montage with heavy influences from formats like the Harold, La Ronde, and Freeze Tag.

Deep Sea Swimwear (Chicago, IL) - Formed underneath a swimming pool, Deep Sea Swimwear has its roots in Chicago-style long-form improvisation under the direction of coach Tim Soszko. They've been performing together for over a year, and have
performed in and produced shows throughout the Chicagoland area. Though their individual styles vary drastically, they work towards the common goals of discovery, agreement, and love, both on stage and off.

Deep Sea Swimwear performs a modified deconstruction. The first half consists of a grounded, two-person foundation scene, followed by a run of scenes inspired by that foundation. Half-way through, the lights are flickered, and the team returns to the foundation characters, now in a different place or time. Another run of scenes follows, inspired by this return to the foundation. One minute before the end of the show, the lights are flickered a second time, and the team puts closure on the foundation. This style of show has a solid story-arch but still leaves plenty of room for exploration.
