Upcoming Insanity
10/25/2012: The 37th Show!
TECH NIGHTMARE, produced by Cindy Ward
This show was birthed in the insanity of the 43 Hour Marathon. The tech booth is put in complete charge of the show, AS THEY SHOULD BE ALL THE TIME. Sound effects, lights, and music all change on their whim. And if the performers don't do what they're told, they are PUNISHED.
HAPPY, HEALTHY, FUNKY (OR, YOU SHOULD BE DANCING), produced by Kat Greco
One of the principles of improv taught at The Hideout is to be "happy, healthy, sexy." That is, let your character be someone whom others would want to hang out with or someone others are at least interested in. Make connections with other characters. Make bold choices and stick to them.
Is there any type of music that embodies the spirit of "happy, health, sexy" more than funk? Think about it. Funk quickens the senses, lightens the spirit, inspires confidence and forges joyous connections between people on the dance floor. It's powerful stuff!
But can funk inspire happier, healthier, sexier improv? In tonight's show, we'll find out!
Periodically we will pause our show for a funky dance break. When we're done, we'll pick up where we left off with a new sense of vigor, purpose, confidence and connection.
Join us!
Your Dad's Friends
Your Dad's Friends is a troupe of improvisers who have been playing together off and on for over 10 years. With a pedigree that includes such classic Austin troupes such as Monk's Night Out, Ray Prewitt's 4th Grade Class, and Inflatable Egos, they have cemented themselves as the elder statesmen (and women) of Austin improv comedy. They pride themselves on a strong short-form background which they use to create formats that appeal to a long-form audience. Your Dad's Friends have appeared at Out of Bounds, Wafflefest, and the Improv Marathon at The Hideout Theatre.
