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!
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.
