We are so thrilled to announce that the amazing Regina Saisi has agreed to perform with us on December 3rd at the Martinez Campbell Theater.

Regina Saisi has been a BATS Main Stage Company member since 1987 and has served as Artistic Director, director, and coach. She is currently Dean at BATS School of Improv.

The focus of her work throughout her career has been improvised theatre. She has been deeply involved in the growth of the San Francisco Bay Area’s fertile improvisation community, helping to start several improv companies including Riot Squad, Improv Theatre, Pulp Playhouse, True Fiction Magazine, and Improv Playhouse of San Francisco.

As an actor and improviser, Regina frequently pushes the boundaries of improvisational theory and practice. With Improv Theatre, for example, she helped pioneer longform improv, taking improvised theatre from simple scenes into full-length, multi-act narratives. Pulp Playhouse employed extensive genre study to define both storytelling style and storytelling structure.

She helped create her most sophisticated work with True Fiction Magazine, a company that has performed internationally and has brought the style and structure of telling multiple stories to Sweden, Finland, Italy, and Belgium.

Regina has taught at Studio ACT, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and TAM High School, where she also directs improvised performances.

Come out and see one of the best!

Our mission is to promote greater connection through applied improvisation.
