Welcome to the wonderful world of Austin Improv. I think you'll also find that Austin is an extremely dog friend city. So we welcome not only you but your lovely dog as well.

Welcome Liz! Didn't realize you'd already played in a Maestro. Let us know
if you have any questions about anything. It's a real fun group we got in this city!

Hey Liz.

Welcome to Austin, and welcome to the Austin Improv Collective!! Check out the improv shows at CTT (Coldtowne Theater), SVT (Salvage Vanguard Theater), Hideout, New Movement, and Cafe Caffeine! My name is Sara Farr, and I play in Comedy Sportz @ Cafe Caffeine; I also play in an occasional Maestro @ the Hideout. I'm the invisible "Third Man" in the 2-man troupe, Get Up, and I do improvised scoring for all their shows. I do improv scoring for an occasional Gnap! Theater Projects show at SVT, as well as other events around Austin.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love PUPPET IMPROV!!!

Hope I get to meet you face to face soon. & Happy New Year!

~Sara
