Feb 28 - April 12. Two teams from 5678 perform in the Washington Improv Theater (WIT) "Fighting Improv Smackdown Tournament" a/k/a "The Tournament of the F.I.S.T."
Min, Pam & Tommy represented DC Improv, performing as 1-2-3 TV. Lisa teamed up with improv friends Dan O'Neil and Ed Kubal to form Kibbles & Bitch. Both teams were very excited to be included in this innovative program at WIT.
This year, in addition to WIT's own player teams the tournament was opened to include WIT students, as well as improv teams from local colleges and professional improv organizations in the DC area.
The participating 3-person teams faced off in 10-15 minute sets, in a single-elimination tournament-style competition.
When asked what he enjoyed most about the tournament, F.I.S.T. Commissioner Justin Purvis stated, "the intermingling of troupes, students, and players from outside of WIT. Any time you have a bunch of people getting together to play, it is always a blast."
We agree.
