The Hideout Theatre in Austin, TX is hosting the Improvised Play Festival... an improv festival focusing on and showcasing narrative and theatrical improv.

Improv is funny. Improv is spontaneous. Improv is delightful. But, at The Hideout, we believe that improv is also theatre. Over the years, The Hideout has built its reputation on producing full-length improvised plays in a wide range of styles: Shakespeare, Dickens, Star Trek, Film Noir.

The Hideout certainly is not alone in its approach, and it’s time to bring like-minded improv companies together to celebrate and show off the more theatrical side of improv.

Hence, the Improvised Play Festival.

The festival will be held  from Thursday April 10th through Saturday, April 12th.

Benefits for performers include:
* No Application fee!
* Photos of shows in digital form
* Your own hour or half-hour long show block
* use of an Austin-based technical improviser (well versed in our sound and light equipment)
* use of a musician (should you need one)
* fancy lights (multiple 'specials', RGB-spectrum wash)
* free access to all shows and after-parties

Submissions are due by February 15th at 11:59pm

Final decisions and notifications (one way or the other) will sent out no later than March 1st.

Thanks!
