Austin Improv

It would be really useful for the wiki if I could make a giant list of all the Austin troupes, or as close to that as we can get. #quixotic

So: please post here with as many Austin troupes as you can think of. Past or present, sketch or improv, duos, revolving casts, what-have-you... all of them. All the Austin troupes.

It’s like if we had decided early on that we could only use live-action films to tell mystery stories.

I might not be too much help here cause the ones I'm involved in (or fans of) are the ones with pages already. I know you've been pinging Amy and Megan about TNM troupes; ColdTowne is second place among theaters with undocumented troupes.

Do you have access to the CT schedule? It's a goldmine of troupe names: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... _web#gid=1

Past and present? What about student troupes? I was in a student troupe called "Apocalypse Meow"

Past and present, including student troupes.
