- The Austin Chronicle
At 4:00pm on Friday, June 4th, The Hideout’s eight marathon improvisers will take the stage and stay there until 9:00am on Sunday, June 6th, performing 41 straight hours of improvisational theater and comedy without sleep or respite. Each hour of the marathon will be a separate show, featuring classic and upcoming Hideout formats, one-off shows never to be seen again, and guest troupes and players from Austin’s ever-growing improv community.
In addition to raising money for The Hideout Theatre, 10% of ticket sales will go to Theatre Action Project, a team of professionally trained artists and educators that offers creative arts and education programs for social change to over 15,000 people every year (www.theatreactionproject.org).
Most marathon shows will be $5. Full marathon passes can be purchased for $75.
This year’s marathon improvisers will be Jessica Arjet, Kaci Beeler, Roy Janik, Curtis Luciani, Marc Majcher, Bill Stern, Valerie Ward, and Meghan Wolff.
