World's Collide
Where improv and music collide... magic unfolds!
What happens when two worlds try to exist in the same space? Worlds Collide takes your suggestion, breaks it apart, and smashes it back together in unexpected ways. Sparks fly as each show becomes a high-stakes experiment in tension, comedy, and connection, ending in a finale that will only happen once in a lifetime.
Naughty Hams
Naughty Hams
The Naughty Hams tell the tale of the town of (BLANK) which is famous for (BLANK) using the lost art of leaving a voicemail. It's narrative long form at its most story like.
Hilarity ensues and characters meet and interact in the creation of a wonderful and usually zany community.
Emotional Overtones-known for their orange leis, the performance arm of South Bay Musical Improv, do a fun format where they take an unusual location and a suggested concept and weave it into overlapping stories and songs with multiple characters and scenes. There will indeed be drama-and yes-a whole lot of singing and dancing.

What is a toast and Jam?
A "toast and jam" is an interactive event that serves as a casual improv workshop and performance all in one. It is similar to an open mic or an improv "jam," where anyone, regardless of experience level is welcome to get on stage and improvise scenes and songs with the performers.
Participation is optional: You can choose to join the performers on stage or simply watch and laugh from the audience.
Supportive environment: The sessions are designed to be fun and supportive, a welcoming opportunity for all levels to experience the joy of musical improvisation.
Anyone can join: — performers and audience members alike. They are wildly fun, hilarious and full of joy!
Essentially, it's a chance to "toast" the venue/group and "jam" (improvise) with others in a low-pressure setting.

The Emotional Overtones is the performance group within the South Bay Musical Improv community.
Known for bringing the party with us (and our orange flower leis), we perform fully improvised musicals across the Bay Area. We will come perform elsewhere and we invite other groups to come perform with us!
🏆 Proud to have been voted the audience favorite improv group three months in a row. We won a competition and then decided to strike out on our own as well.
