Looking for something to do on a Friday night? B.I.T., has you covered! We are hosting our second show of the semester on October 14th, 2022, at 8:00PM, at the Backdoor Playhouse. We do short form improv, similar to “who’s line is this?” where the troupe will perform games based on audience suggestions. We are also an open, no audition troupe so if you like what you see at the show or if this sounds of interest to you feel free to join us at practice anytime! We pride ourselves on being extremely low commitment and our belief in creative expression within the troupe.

We have an Instagram if you want to stay up to date on what we are doing or even if you want to pop in and join our practices! Our handle is @tntechbackdoorimprov

I have also included a QR code to our Instagram as well!
