April, 2018 - THEY are Featured in Meetings Today: Hilton Head Showcases the Lowcountry's Artistic Side
For a small coastal enclave, South Carolina’s Hilton Head Island, along with neighboring Bluffton and Daufuskie Island, loom large when it comes to arts and culture.
According to Jack Reed, director of sales, Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Visitor & Convention Bureau, Hilton Head’s cultural offerings and entertainment options draw group attendees to participate before, during or after their meeting.
“Because of [Hilton Head] being a resort destination, many attendees bring their spouses and/or families and come in early or stay after the meeting is over,” he explained.

Blending performing arts with teambuilding, THEY improv is in the business of working with companies to get attendees out of their comfort zones, to bond and learn about themselves and teammates.
Not just for entertaining audiences, improv can be used to improve sales, management and communication abilities.
"Improv by nature brings people together to work toward common goals," said Todd Rice, founder and director of THEY improv. "And nothing is more important in business than that."
THEY improv, which serves the Hilton Head area as well as other locations across North America and across the pond, has created group activities and training programs using scavenger hunts, mini-Olympiads, murder mysteries, game shows and of course, improv, to entertain and enhance meetings and events.
THEY works with meeting planners or corporate executives to discuss the group’s background, needs and weaknesses to create a specific program that will benefit all participants and the overall goal of the meeting or event. The team is experienced in quickly identifying the skills and challenges of a group and can adjust on the spot. That’s what improv is all about.
With that in mind, is it no surprise this company is named THEY improv?
"It’s not about us, it’s about what THEY need," Rice explained.
