Featuring 20-25 athletes from Austin Cheer Factory, Austin's most elite all-star cheerleading program.
While this is a scripted play, the script was developed using improvisation and a unique process inspired by The New Colony theater company in Chicago, IL. Improv is being used throughout the rehearsal process to keep the acting alive and fresh.
We don't have tickets available online yet but you can reserve a ticket via our Kickstarter campaign (and help us raise some necessary starter funds at the same time!) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kac ... ke-theater
This is definitely the biggest project I have personally ever undertaken. We've been training for over 6 months to be able to do these cheer routines, I was on a wait list for 7 months to book at SVT mainstage, and this production is only up for 8 performances over 2 weekends! We're excited to share this crazy project with the Austin creative community.
