Austin Improv

hahah! I was just gonna do a few cut to's, but I was having too much fun messing with you guys! Woot!

Tomorrow, PPFF continues with PHOTOS!



PGraph will be projecting vintage photos from Valerie Ward's extensive collection of two-dimensional ephemerata. We'll then be taking the positions of the people in the photos to start scenes.

But that's not all. This isn't your run-of-the-mill slightly modified Armando. That wouldn't be risky enough for PPFF. We'll be telling a single narrative while trying to integrate and embody the photos during the course of the show.

Can we do it? Will our brains dissolve? And most importantly, how will this affect the dance party?

Find out tomorrow at 8PM at ColdTowne.

Last night's show was so much fun. I think we'll pull that format out again. Something about having the photos injected into our narrative forced us to focus on what had already been established. Fun!

Next week, a sensory challenge for the ages. PGraph performs The taB. It's the opposite of The Bat. The audience can see, but the performers cannot!!

In honor of last night's show, I've added a bunch of marching cows that moo when you roll over them, and a turtle to the dance party:

I've also updated the flyer to reflect the fact that next week's show will be The taB!, rather than "Bad Improv", and that Stomp and Sing will be the last show of PPFF.

Kareem forgot to mention that at The taB, it is dinstinctly probable that everyone in the audience will get FREE TAB.

So don't miss that.

I love you guys.

a gentle reminder that PPFF continues tonight, as PGraph dons blindfolds and improvises without the sense of sight.

Please come. Or if you can't, just tell us you came in late and left early, and we'll never know the difference.

But please actually come.

Here's the only pictorial evidence of last night's taB, taken by Justin Davis:



For the record, this is the second time Kaci mounted Valerie in the show. Also, please note how creepy Kareem looks just sitting there off to the side.

Next week, Silence!

But what will be added to the dance party?

Kaci says I've gone too far with the spastic, tiled, anime mermaid background (a reference to the first scene of the taB), but I disagree.

Some say that Roy has gone too far.

I say he has not gone too far enough!

Yes, Yes, tonight is Silence!, where we'll be attempting (mostly) silent scenes set to music.

But what I really came to tell you is that we just got confirmation about something that is going to make Stomp and Sing on Dec. 17th super awesome.

I don't want to give it away, but let's just say it'll be 100% more "Stern" than our normal shows.

What could it be??
