9/27/2012: The 34th Show!

Gamers of a Certain Age, produced by Alex Gray

A group of older men is gathering like they have every week since high school.

At first, it was to play D&D but over time it has become an excuse to get away from their lives and talk to the only people who understand them - their adventuring buddies.

They're there to play the game, but can the quest be won when real life keeps getting in the way?

Tech Nightmare, produced by Cynthia Ward

Improvisers are great and all, but they have too much control over their own destiny.

It's time for the true puppet masters to shine... the tech booth! For one show only, the tech booth is entirely in charge. Lighting, sound effects, and music are all played at their whim, and the improvisers don't play along they are SEVERELY PUNISHED.

Your Dad's Friends presents Politiprov

It's time for some timely, relevant improv. Your Dad's Friends takes us behind the scenes of two warring political campaigns. We won't know what the issue is until the audience decides, but it's bound to be contentious. The drama is intense, the stakes are high, and the fate of humanity (or some small town's curfew hours) hangs in the balance!

Your Dad's Friends is a troupe of improvisers who have been playing together off and on for over 10 years. With a pedigree that includes such classic Austin troupes such as, Monk's Night Out, Ray Prewitt's 4th Grade Class, and Inflatable Egos, they have cemented themselves as the elder statesmen (and women) of Austin improv comedy. They pride themselves on a strong short-form background which they use to create formats that appeal to a long-form audience. Your Dad's Friends have appeared at Out of Bounds, Wafflefest, and the Improv Marathon at The Hideout Theatre.
