At 5:00pm on Friday June 17, 2016, eight brave and foolish improvisers will take the Hideout stage and stay there until 3pm on Sunday the 21st, performing 47 STRAIGHT HOURS of improvisational theatre and comedy without sleep or respite.

Each hour of the marathon will be a separate show, featuring classic and upcoming Hideout formats, one-off shows never to be seen again, and guest troupes and players from Austin’s ever-growing improv community.

A portion of the ticket sales will be set aside to pay the tuition of children who would otherwise not be able to afford classes. The majority of donations, however, will come from people like you clicking the donate button or sponsoring the marathoners directly. This year’s marathon will also be a fundraiser to raise money for the Hideout Youth Program.

Head to the Marathon Sponsorship page (http://www.hideouttheatre.com/improv-for-kids/donate) and pledge a few dollars. Every dollar collected from donations will benefit The Hideout’s Kids Improv Scholarship program!
