Fringe for 9/20/2012: Stretch Dumbstrong, Lower Decks, IOP

[Roy Janik]

I don't know if you've noticed, but the Austin improv scene is bursting with creativity.

There are hundreds of performers, and every single one of them is prone to saying things like "Wouldn't it be crazy if...?" or "I just had the most insane idea."

This is where those dreams go, not to die, but to live gloriously on the stage for one night only.

Every week will be dramatically different.

There could be shows with improvisers tied up in rope, 50 performers onstage, blindfolded actors, improvising dogs, or 1000 other things.

THE FREE FRINGE IS FREE. FOREVER.

Reserve your tickets in advance to guarantee yourself a spot.

Upcoming Insanity

9/20/2012: The 33rd Show!

Stretch Dumbstrong, produced by Jason Vines

Squishy face. Squishy body.
Squishy, squishy squishy.
That's all you need to know.

From the man who brought you Drag, The Floor is Lava, and friggin' Tamales.

starring: Jason Vines, Sarah Swofford, Cat Drago, Jeanette Jones, Justin Davis, Adriane Shown, Deano Jones, Lisa Jackson , Andrew Buck, Maitland Lederer

Lower Decks, produced by Peter Rogers

Did you know there were 428 crew members of the original Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk. The Death Star was peopled with thousands. It was the size of a friggin' moon! The stories and movies are always made about the high-ranking officers on the bridge or the command base or whatever. The go-getters and the good-looking top brass.

But what about the regular schlubs just trying to get along? What about them?

What exactly goes on... in the Lower Decks?

starring: Gene Zhou, Eric Heiberg, Cat Drago, Thedward Blevins, Lacy Shawn, Quinn Buckner, Brad Hawkins, Jason Oliver

In Our Prime

Four Improvised Story Tellers of a "certain age," finding the grounded and real life in our fully made up and improvised tales. From your suggestions, we will explore relationships as old as time with solid and grounded characters often unique yet everyday. Their story will unfold from the interactions discovered in the opening scenes. In Our Prime uses every nuance from the first few offers to find, the all too fleeting, path to the finish. By the end, you will want to know more about what happened "ever since that day. . ."

starring: Ryan Hill, Gloria Rabil Bankler, Jessica Arjet, Paul Normandin
