WHAT IS IMPROV?

If you've seen "Whose line is it anyway?" or "The Devil's Advocates" then you are already familiar with Improv. But you may not be familiar with the Canadian Improv Games. In the Canadian Improv Games, there are five events, of which a team will choose four to compete in. High school teams from all across the country participate in the games, and for the last 20 years, the games have just been getting better and better. We're expanding everywhere, and the Waterloo Regional Games are just the most recent addition.

Why get involved with the Canadian Improv Games? Here are five great reasons to participate.
