The premise of #hashtag was similar to most improv shows: it evolved as the night progresses with the players taking offers and concepts from the audience. The key difference was the audience live tweets their offers to the performance using hashtags! It’s an awesome idea, one that fits right into our social-media driven world. From our phones to a Twitter live feed projected onto the back wall of BATS’ Heyday Dome, the players pick and choose our offers and craft short, usually engaging, always hilarious scenes. #hashtag made way for no less than forty, unique, fun, and energetic scenes, and showcased the skill, tenacity, and ingenuity of the players.
