The Hideout Theater
43 Hour Improv Marathon
The Marathon returns June 1st, 2012. This time it will be 43 hours of insane, non-stop improv.
Information regarding troupes and the core marathon cast is forthcoming. Until then, here are the details from the 2011 marathon…
“…sharp, focused, and riotously funny!”
At 6:00pm on Friday, June 3rd, The Hideout’s eight marathon improvisers will take the stage and stay there until noon on Sunday, June 5th, performing 42 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.
Most marathon shows will be $5. An all-access Marathon pass is available for $50, which, if you’re crazy brave enough to see all the shows, is a savings of $160!
This year’s marathon improvisers will be Timothy Redmond (from Australia!), Lisa Jackson, Andy Crouch, Troy Miller, Jason Vines, Peter Rogers, Karen DeWitt, and Jordan T. Maxwell.
