THE HOOPIE GAMES

An Evening of Theatre Sports
Get ready for a night of fast-paced games, unexpected challenges and completely unscripted theatre!
The Hoopie Games brings the UJ Arts Academy Drama class to the stage for an evening of Theatre Sports — where performers compete in a series of improvised theatrical games, creating scenes, characters and stories on the spot. There is no script, no set formula and very little time to think!

Come cheer for your favourite team, throw them a challenge and see what happens when anything can happen.
