Talent Shows

TALENT SHOWS

We lead the way for corporate event, banquet and private party entertainment with our talent shows. These shows, which are an offshoot of our game shows, are designed to be both entertaining and to foster bonding through the experience. Participants show new aspects of themselves to the rest of the group and overcome fears of performance by having a group shared experience.

TALENT SHOWS

FUN OPTIONS FOR EMPLOYEE TEAM BUILDING

THE IDOL

Loosely based on television's American Idol, The Idol involves competitors working as either individuals or as teams to sing either popular songs or to create comedic offshoots that either talk to corporate doctrine or are simply parodies. Our panel of judges critique the performances and add some humor into the mix. This is often done in combination with Karaoke to enhance the effect. Instead of singing this can be done with dancing to convert it into Dance Idol.
Benefits: Team Work and Presentation Skills

THE AUDITION

This is an audition where contestants are competing for roles in a movie. Often using scripts from actual films the contestants can first be put on film in an audition setting and then our facilitators can help guide their acting skills for redoing their audition at a more professional level.
Benefits: Presentation Skills and Vocal Clarity

VOX POPULI

Loosely based on television's popular the Voice, Vox Populi pairs contestants with our professional staff to develop their individual talents. Similar to The Idol, what separates it is the element of more preparation and the tutelage of our staff. Instead of singing, this can be done with dancing to convert it into Dance Madness.
Benefits: Presentation Skills Development

SO YOU THINK YOU HAVE TALENT

Loosely based on television's popular X-Factor or Gong Show, our So You Think You Have Talent brings contestants (individually or by groups) to perform acts to the amusement of those in attendance. It's a great way to get staff to see bosses in a new context an to get people to bond. This shows unusual skills and can include anything from singing, dancing, acting, magic, juggling or practically anything else.
Benefits: Bonding

Each talent show is individualized with elements adjusted based on the needs of the audience. This includes shifting from ratings G through NC-17, wholly audience driven to packing participants with comedic performers, and from innocuous shows to shows that ambush unwitting audience members.

Most talent shows are provided as a low-tech adventure which allows us complete flexibility to adjust to the audience members as well as to fit into any venue. Our focus is on the human element as opposed to trying to allow the performers to hide behind fancy lights and sounds. Additional set elements, equipment, lasers, etc. are available at an increased cost, but are not usually recommended. Besides the host, a Vanna is available at an increased fee, and is recommended for shows with larger audiences.

WE CARE FOR YOU! We care for you and your guests. We will discuss your desires for safety measures regarding Covid-19 and want you to feel secure in the knowledge that we are looking out for you, our client.

Talent shows vary in length and can include a training segment to develop the skills involved. This means that they can go an hour, two hours, four hours or beyond with the final performance being some 30-60 minutes depending on the style of show. Prices range due to the level of customization, so you should contact THEY improv for a quote.

OUR GREEN COMMITMENT While ultimately we serve our clients in the way that they require, we work hard to reduce the carbon footprint of any event. We recycle, utilize local talent when preferable, and look to leave places better than we found them. When we do travel, we take pains to reduce our impact on the environment.

We provide Employee Talent Shows for companies throughout the United States, and even beyond! Wherever you might be along the Atlantic Coast, the MidWest, the South, the West Coast, or anywhere else, we stand ready to help your group to have fun. This includes in the big cities, the suburbs, or further outside the urban areas. We do not provide the food or the venue. We come to you and help you to succeed in business without really trying!

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

WHAT IS THE REASON?

The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS? WHERE? WHEN? HOW MANY?

We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options and have a better feel for the resources required.

DO YOU HAVE A BUDGET?

If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to provide less than we could realizing the resources that could be made available to better achieve your goals.
