Continuing the Hideout Theatre’s tradition of daring, experimental improvisation, this summer’s prime time show is Live Nude Improv. Saturdays at 8pm in July and August is an unscripted exploration of modern theater in all its glory, commitment and ridiculousness.

Using games, scenes and radical storytelling techniques, eight of Austin’s most accomplished improvisers will create a never-before-seen-and-never-to-be-seen-again play. Each night is a different audience-suggested title, guaranteeing a completely different show each week — expect playfulness, vulnerability, inspiration and the infinite possibility of improvisation. And because this is modern American drama at its most thrilling and unpredictable, expect to see a little more skin than you might at a run-of-the-mill improv show.

We’re blowing the doors off improvised theater and blurring the distinction between comedy and art, between audience and performer, between wearing clothes and not wearing clothes.

Come experience history in the making.

***There will be a strict 18+ age policy for this show.
***No photography allowed.
***No creeping!

      First things first: those looking for a night of scantily clad theater might be more surpised by what they don't see than what they actually do. The Hideout Theatre's Live Nude Improv is more of a marketing tool than an actual basis for the show (something the entire theater/live performance community often does to reel in audiences). In fact, the nudity really seemed like an afterthought and something the improviser's felt like they had to squeeze into the last two minutes of the show. However, Hideout certainly offers a fun, unique and interactive night of entertainment for both the participant and spectator and whether you're drawn to the show for the promise of bare bottoms or simply a night of improvisational play, you'll certainly leave having had a great time.

      Another great show at The Hideout! I went to their festival jam last weekend and the Threefer on Thursday in preparation for the Live Nude on Saturday. And what fun it was. Live Nude Improv was so quick and clever with a lot of audience participation (seating was in a round) and a lot of laughter. The "director" guides the creative process of staging a play for the hour and based on suggestions from audience members (we are all auditioning btw),the play is then brought to life. It was great to be part of this style of theatre. I was very inspired by it. I would recommend it to anyone that likes spontaneity and surprise. And if I told if there was real nudity in the show, I'd be ruining that element for you so I won't. Collapse

      This was my first improv experience in Austin, and will not be my last. I really enjoyed this show because of the close nature of the space and the happy, non-schlocky nature of the actors. Magic is being created in the Hideout Theatre with the commitment level of the players to not just mugging it up for laughs, but exercising their talents in storytelling. Check it out--you wont be disappointed. Collapse
