Each week, Austin’s award-winning improv troupe Parallelogramopohnograph will split the bill with one of their favorite troupes in town.

During April and May, PGraph presents the latest in their catalog of innovative shows: Dick & Jane. Dick & Jane is set in the world of Jane Austen, costumes and all. It is a delicate place, full of giggling sisters, marriage-happy mothers, coming out dances, and fancy gentlemen. PGraph will take you on a tour of this dainty world and show you what happens when greed gets the best of Mr Darcy, Miss Benet slips her father a micky, and Sir John Middleton ends up face-down in the creek. Noir stories set in the world of Jane Austen! It will be ever-so-devious.

To celebrate the start of PGraph’s run at The Hideout, The Spectacle will be free on April 2nd and 9th!
