THIS WEEK (DECEMBER 28th): EPISODE 17 - 24 HOURS
Tickets available here: http://www.theinstitutiontheater.com/sh ... rican-live
The time has come for our final show and so we are looking to end our run with a bang. And a nod to one of our favorite episodes of our NPR inspiration: 24 Hours at the Golden Apple (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-a ... lden-apple).
Join us for an evening of stories, both real and improvised, live and recorded, blatant and candid. And with the help of our stellar cast: Nicole Beckley, Heidi Caldwell, Gene Joe, Brandon Martin, Kevin Miller, Heidi Rogers, Sam Schak, and Mars Wright.
Hosted by Not Ira Glass, a.k.a. Michael Ferstenfeld and produced with Asaf Ronen.
THIS AMERICAN LIVE shares much with the well-known NPR show from which it takes its name: the format, the tone, and most importantly, the enthusiasm for personal stories. However, the Live theatrical setting gives it opportunities that couldn’t be “seen” on the radio.
Each week, a different topic will be explored as led by Not Ira Glass assisted by a diverse army of performer storytellers behind him. TAL looks not only to present the widest array of narratives, but to redefine narrative. Any given show will include a mix of script and improvisation, interviews and monologues, video and sketch and dance and burlesque and whatever else the Austin pool of talent and personalities has to offer.
