The Hideout Theater

The strangeness of this upcoming weekend cannot be overstated.

Keith Johnstone is coming to town, and besides teaching some intensive workshops,  he is also going to direct Maestro.

Just who is Keith Johnstone?

He’s one of the founders of modern improvisation.

His teachings are the underpinning of The Hideout’s style… both what we teach and perform.

He INVENTED Maestro, along with Theatresports and Gorilla.

The shows he invented are performed in countries around the world.

His insight into status is legendary.

In short, it’s insanely exciting for us to have him come down.

But it’s also a bit scary.

It’s a bit like your parents coming to visit.

And like all good children, we want to impress our parents.

To try and do that, we’re holding the biggest, most ambitious show we’ve ever done.

For the first time ever, Maestro is coming to the Long Center, and we’re trying to fill 150 seats rather than the Hideout’s usual 50.

Tickets are available now, and can be purchased online.

Please consider coming. This kind of event doesn’t happen very often.
