Regular People: Improv Showcase at Hyde Park Theatre 11/15

Post by ratliff »

On Sunday, November 15th, at 8pm, Austin improv continues its relentless march toward world domination with a one-night-only showcase at Hyde Park Theatre, featuring
  • Confidence Men
    The Frank Mills

    and
    The Glamping Trip
Regular People is an attempt to lure regular theatergoers to improv using character-driven formats as bait and a familiar and trusted venue as the trap. (This is a metaphor. We do not actually think of regular theatergoers as prey.)

Obviously, we hope to snare --um, attract a bunch of people who've never experienced improv before. But it would also be nice to see some friendly faces in the crowd, so we're offering improvisers half-price admission, i.e., five bucks instead of ten. The only catch is that the cheap tickets won't be available till that night, so if it sells out in advance -- we can dream, can't we? -- you're out of luck.

Otherwise, show up Sunday the 15th, proudly announce yourself as an improviser (we might ask for a quick iteration of "Czechoslovakia," just to make sure), plunk down a fin, and watch a great improv show with a bunch of swells. You could do a lot worse.

(And if you decide you want to splurge on certainty, you can buy advance tickets here.)

We are looking forward to this and hope you are too, now.

Hey!! Added this suckah to our website:

http://www.nowplayingaustin.com/event/detail/440123849

it even has a link to your ticketing URL WHOAAA!

Cropped the pics and everything. The only thing was you guys don't really have a solid "blurb" that I could find. So I wrote this measly sentence: "An improv-infused theater showcase featuring such talented groups as: Confidence Men, The Frank Mills, and The Glamping Trip." Let me know if you want something better.

Giant thanks and hugs to everyone that made this event exceed my expections, including the exquisite Frank Mills, the raucous Confidence Men, and all of the improvisers that came out to support. Austin improv offered three big events last night --Bernard/Goodfellow, Saved by the Bell, and our Regular People, and we all rocked good houses with great shows. YES !!

Thank you thank you thank you
