Theater Ida warmly invites you to the Ida Theatersport League!

Four teams will compete in an exciting showdown, showcasing their improvisational skills – from dance and mime to singing, poetry, and genres like Film Noir and grand opera.

Let’s face it - going back to school kinda … sucks. No more staying up late playing Call of Duty. No more taking leisurely floats down the Letten. No more daydrinking Aperol spritzes. No more pre-dawn wild boar hunting on Uetliberg.

Milquetoast wants to make it all suck just a little bit less. So join us and our sketchy group of friends for a night of improvised and sketch comedy, written and performed by local talent.
