“Austin’s finest purveyors of genre improvisation.” -The Austinist.com

“The quartet maintain a charismatic warmth throughout [their shows] as well as a sharp wit and excellent understanding of how to hold their audience.” -The List UK

Parallelogramophonograph (Kareem Badr, Kaci Beeler, Roy Janik, and Valerie Ward) has been performing together for over 6 years and 400 shows (and counting!). They specialize in improvising full-length plays, showcasing a range from delightful and frenzied to dark and sinister. PGraph have toured internationally and performed at the most prestigious improv festivals in the world as well as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.

Their love for theatre and a hive-mind-like ensemble combine to produce some of the most unique improvised plays you’ll ever see. PGraph was the recipient of the 2009 B. Iden Payne Award for Outstanding Achievement in Improvisational Theatre. Members of PGraph regularly teach and direct shows at The Hideout Theatre.

Each week, Parallelogramophonograph will split the bill with one of their favorite troupes in town.
