With special guest director Keith Johnstone
For the past ten years, almost every Saturday night at the Hideout Theatre has been Maestro -- elimination-style improv comedy. This January, for the first time ever, the creator of Maestro (and wide swaths of modern improv comedy and theater) is visiting Austin. On Saturday, January 16 he will co-direct a very special performance of Maestro at the Long Center's Rollins Theater.
Fifteen of Austin's virtuoso improvisers will play games and scenes which are scored by you the audience. After each round we eliminate the low-scoring players, the show gets better and by the end one player emerges victorious from the climax of hilarity. The winner is awarded the title of Maestro and presented the coveted Canadian five-dollar bill. We're testing the limits of improv, exploring the theater and comedy that amuses and inspires you.
Maestro is Austin's longest-running, best-selling improv show. Every scene or game takes a suggestion from the audience, and often we'll invite volunteers to come up on the stage to help us out. If you're new to improv comedy, this is the show for you.
Come see the improv that Austin is raving about with the guy that started it all.
