Welcome to the FITS Headquarters.

FITS, Frankfurt International Theatre Sports, takes suggestions from the audience to create a whirlwind of scenes, characters and scenarios, turning them into joyful and unexpected moments for every audience it meets. Conceived and performed on the spot, before your eyes, including original music and songs, the show will last one night and then fade away forever, except in your memory.

THE CAST OF FITS

Paul Domineske

Paul Domineske is a founding member of Theater Language Studio, and doting member of Frankfurt International Theater Sports. Vollkornbrot, quark, and Lisa Della Casa keep him in Germany. Mr. Domineske believes that the spontaneity and unpredictable nature of improvisation make up for the induced, predictable nature of real life. His coffee is ready EVERY morning at 7:42.

June Waldenberger

June has been improvising since 2008. Originally from Wisconsin, USA, June has been in Germany for over ten years, and finds daily life here very amusing. If she doesn't find it amusing, she makes an improv scene about it, so she can laugh. She has learned that PLANNED HUMOR isn't as funny as a spontaneous situation, and would recommend this therapy to everyone who has ever had a bad day!

Antonia Kitzel

Antonia`s first acting experience was as a raven in a school production, and she felt at home on stage from that moment on. Antonia has twice won a Best Actress award at the FEATS festival several times, for her role of Mother in Wasp and Old Woman in Death in Heels. It seems that she has a special connection to characters without names, hence her love of improv.

Abigail Paul

Abigail loves improv. She's been improvising since she was 14 years old, and has trained all over - NY, LA, London, and Chicago. Abigail has served as the coach for FITS since its inception in 2010. She likes improvisation because she hates learning lines. (True story.)

Nick Bederski

Nick has always been a big fan of improv, and he is super delighted to be onstage with FITS. A native German from Mannheim, he likes Star Wars and sick rhymes.

Rene Becker

Though René was introduced to improvisation in College, it was not until she moved to Germany that she fully embraced it. She makes out with it all the time and finally feels she has found 'the one'. Seriously.

Anne Stuecker

At Anne’s first improv class in Washington, DC in 2003, her teacher told her, “Dare to suck.” She took that advice to heart and has been practicing it with more or less success ever since. She has been a member of FITS since the beginning and continues to do improv because the rehearsals are cheaper than therapy, and more effective.

Simit Patel

From the UK, Simit has played guitar for 18 years and loved comedy for even longer. Starting out on classical guitar, Simit went on to play electric for bands in his youth (black nail polish; very baggy jeans; he prefers not to talk about that…) and has been a solo performer for the last 8 years

Alex Kay

Alex has been doing improvisational comedy since auditioning for FITS in February 2011. Alex finds that being an improviser and being a stage actor complement each other well. He likes taking risks, pushing boundaries and discovering new things about himself, for example that he makes a very credible singing Cookie Monster.

Susanne König

Susanne met improv through FITS in 2010 and fell in love. She enjoys being spontaneously creative and building wonderful worlds out of "nothing" with this great team. Convinced that improv is the best anti-aging therapy, she only strays occasionally to follow her second passion, Flamenco dancing.

Sarnia Schüßler

According to her Mum, Sarnia has been acting (up) since she was a child. A fan of theatricals, she's broadening her horizons and giving improv a go. She loves a good pun ... and she's not opposed to bad ones, either!

David Edgcumbe

David is a man from England. David was born in 1987, the same year Rick Astley enjoyed great success with his chart-topping hit 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. Both events had a significant impact on his life. David pretended to study philosophy at university, and now works as a professional anglophone.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is theatre sports?

Theatre Sports is Improvisational theatre, which takes many forms. Players use different formats or games where they must create a scene out of a theme or idea given to them only a few seconds prior to beginning. Best known as improv or impro, it’s like acting without a net.

Are you guys really making all that stuff up?

Absolutely! FITS players train regularly of course, but beyond a decision about which kinds of formats the group will perform, nothing else is planned.

Do you make the audience do anything?

Not at all. You make suggestions, relax and watch the show. Sometimes we look for a brave volunteer or two to make a slightly longer suggestion, but we would never ‘pick on’ anyone who didn’t want to go onstage!

Can I play?
We offer lessons. Look for courses that are running at the moment under current enrolment. Why learn improvisation? Need more information? Check out our Education page!

Do I have to make a reservation?

No, you can just show up. But you can also make a reservation to guarantee that you will get a seat!

Are FITS shows appropriate for kids?

No. Our shows are completely improvised and that we have no idea what the content is going to be, though we usually don’t go out of our way to be raunchy or explicit.

How long does the show last?

The show lasts anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. Since every show is completely improvised, times will vary.

I went to a show and it looks like fun. Can I perform onstage with FITS?

TLS Frankfurt offer classes to learn about improvisation and holds auditions regularly for new performers. Please sign up for our mailing list in order to receive regular updates.

I have a complaint or a compliment for you. What should I do?
