Press & Awards
We are extremely excited to introduce our Co-Artistic directors, Karen Brelsford and Derek Yee. You may have seen these two amazing improvisors in recent shows or watched formats that they’ve directed themselves such as Canadian Horror Story, directed by Karen Brelsford and The Dual Duel directed by Derek Yee (online every Friday in March). Now, you’ll be able to see even more of them and their astounding work within BATS.
