“At its best – and Nothing and Everything earns the superlative – long-form improv can deliver insights about theatre itself.” – The Austin Chronicle

The Hideout Theatre presents Nothing and Everything: Improvised Anton Chekhov Plays at The Long Center for four evenings of boundary-pushing improvisational theatre. This 2014 sold-out sensation brought audiences to their feet and left theater-goers requesting it’s return. The original cast, featuring many of Austin’s most experienced improvisers, reunite to create brand new stories of idle, turn-of-the-century provincial Russian lives on The Rollins Stage for one weekend only.

Nothing and Everything will explore new Chekhovian worlds, in which nothing seems to happen except the timeless struggles of day-to-day life: love, fear, longing, suffering, happiness, and death. Starting with details provided by the audience, an estate of people with real hopes and fears will emerge into a full night of comedy and tragedy.
