Womb Escape

BRIEF HISTORY

The significance of the name “Womb Escape,” which began in 2007, is that each team originally spawned from our Unexpected Productions improv school then became successful groups on their own without the warmth and comfort of our "womb-like" theater! It has evolved into a tournament for anyone in the pacific northwest with an interest in performing improv. All experience levels are welcome!

2015 WINNERS - 3's A Crowd
2014 WINNERS - Impulse
2013 WINNERS - Your Hand Goes Here
2012 WINNERS - Children of the Stork
2011 WINNERS - Children of the Stork
2010 WINNERS - WTF Bomb
2009 WINNERS - Secret Army of Hobos

2008 WINNERS - Sisters of Sal
2007 WINNERS - Quiet Monkey Fight

CAGE MATCH

(previous Womb Escapes only.)
NOV 21, 2010 SUNDAY 7pm

CAGE MATCH CHAMPIONSHIPS

In the past we've had a "Cage Match" to determine the the winner from the final two. An explanation is listed below..

6:30PM CALL

How it works:

There is NO LIMIT as to how many people you have on your team
The 1st place team from XTS each night will move on to the Saturday semi-finals.
The top two of Saturday's playoff match advance to the championship match on Sunday, 7pm.
EACH TEAM HAS 25 MINUTES to do whatever they want. The only rule is it has to be improvised and it has to be long-form
(suggestions can only be retrieved from the audience before they start their 25 minutes)
At 25 minutes the lights will come down. You'll get a 5 minute and 1 minute warning of some kind. (Usually a countdown clock is present.)
Then, after the match, there may be a short group scene to let the AUDIENCE DECIDE WHICH TEAM THEY WANT TO VOTE FOR. Usually they mark it down on a piece of paper to be tallied at the end, but for this show, it may happen by other means.
