The HOTS have gained a following by making well known songs entirely their own. No backing tracks here, just four guys that love making music.
Created from a one-word suggestion out of thin air and presented to you in all its raw, unpolished glory, improv takes the best ideas from the spinning mind and places it on stage to be viewed from every angle and made sense of in the moment.
Without a set, props, or a script, scenes craft themselves before your very eyes in a daring display of making it up on the spot. Gathered before you will be a collection of improvisers from around Sonoma County, years of experience between them in many iterations of previous and current improv groups. All collected for a showdown of laughs and insanity. In our eyes they are All Stars!!
