“So, how much of that was improvised?”


Here at the Hideout Theatre we specialize in what we like to called improvised narratives. To us, that means full stories, or basically what look like improvised plays. They may often have a strong genre influence like our Improvised Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, or Alfred Hitchcock-style shows. Usually, our Saturday 8pm show is an improvised narrative.

One comment/question we often receive after a show is,

“How much of that was improvised?”

As an audience member, I can understand how at times it could seem, well, pre-planned. But when we say we do improv, we mean it. We actually like not knowing what’s going to happen.
