the first act of an improv show is performed. during intermission, one performer has their hair dyed a color of the audience's choice. in the second act, it's the same story and they are the same character but nobody recognizes them.

The crème de la criminals struggle to stay one step ahead of the coppers in vaguely-Victorian London.

Also, there are songs.

Next up, we need to cast the unfortunately-subtitled:
Cyberprov: The Edge of Tomorrow

Good dialog is when the character only says stuff that character would say; great dialog is when the character says stuff only that character would say.

In the style of the Mexican soap opera, but all in nerdy space references that the audience doesn't get.

127 Hours with Waldo Cast it!

127 Hours with Waldo Cast it!

Peter Rogers
every other improvisor in Austin

Peter in his excellent Waldo costume "traps" himself somewhere in downtown Austin, simulcasting a video to the theatre. any other improvisor who wants to play watches the video onstage. through Peter's increasingly delirious rants and emotionally vulnerable epiphanies, the prov'ers deduce clues as to his whereabouts and leave the theatre to find and "rescue" him, working together or separately, discussing the meanings of clues (which might be leads and might just be Peter resolving childhood issues), allowing Peter's own predicament to draw out their own personal stories. if their hunch is wrong, they must return to the theatre to tell the story of their search and get more clues. part theatrical performance, part real time city wide scavenger hunt, part personally revealing storytelling experience, the show doesn't end (and Peter doesn't leave) until WALDO IS FOUND!!!



Nose to the Rhinestone
cast it!

All the Austin improvisers over 40 dealing with the cards that life dealt them. They get their suggestion by asking "What do you not want to have to do when you wake up on your 50th birthday?"

Heh, basically, with a few other people like Lampe, Sean Hill, and others thrown in. We have any women over 40 here?

I was trying to give a simple description of a troupe or show instead of a thorough, detailed write-up that would feel more like a summary of an entire show than a short explanation of what that troupe would be about and who's in it.

Still curious who's in Up Below.

Shhhhhhh, not so loud! Jesus, between Jordan posting all about his you-know-what-ieth birthday and you boasting about being twice that, you'll have the Sandmen on us before you can say "Renew!"

(Admit it. You know in your heart that this is how Austin works.)

Oh, and Up Below? An angel and a demon are tasked with preparing the earth for the Apocalypse. It stars Valerie Ward and Jason Vines.

Please cast The Means of Production?

[Rev. Jordan T. Maxwell]

(Admit it. You know in your heart that this is how Austin works.)

it can't be. this town is entirely founded on the nostalgic superiority of each older generation telling the next, "you may THINK Austin is cool now, but in MY day...!"

the Drag used to be so cool, y'all...

(apologies in advance for any name typos...)
