Austin Invades San Francisco

[acrouch]

Mid August, Thirteen improvisers from Austin are traveling to San Francisco to study with Keith Johnstone.

There is a weekend intensive that is sold out which will be attended by three members of the Leading Brands and three members of Improv for Evil. I'm TAing for this workshop. It's already sold out.

But there's also a one-day intensive on Wednesday, August 16. The entirity of Parallelogramophonograph will be attending this workshop. There are still spots available. If you're interested in traveling to an awesome city to study improv with one of the few living gurus, this is your chance.

And as a bonus, I'm organizing a Mask workshop with William Hall, an amazing improv teacher that specializes in Mask. That will probably be on Tuesday or Thursday.
