This show features:

AndAlso team members: Ben Tucker, Heather Urquhart, Jules Munns, Juwel Haque, Jen Rowe, and Roneesh Vashisht.

FAQs

What happens in the jam?

We make things up! Exactly what depends on who is there and what they want to do, but your host for the evening will choose a selection of games and scenes to give you the maximum amount of fun with the minimum amount of effort. There will probably be suggestions from the audience, characters, scenes and stories.

What happens in the warm-up?

We make sure everybody is ready to play. Your jam leader will set some ground rules for a safe and respectful environment, then lead you in some group games and short scenes.

Do I have to be there for the warm-up?

Yes. Our jam is a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, where people who have just met can play together and the warm-up is an essential part of this. So sadly, if you miss it, you will not be able to play.

Do I need improv experience to play?

Absolutely not! If you would like to come and try improv for the first time, you are very welcome. Just let us know when you arrive and we will make sure you have a fun time. But be warned, it does get addictive.

How many times will I get to play?

We can’t exactly predict this, but we limit the number of players and have a variety of game and scene sizes. So we can guarantee being onstage multiple times. Our jam is for you to practice and improve your improv skills, so there’s no point in doing it just once!

Do I have to play?

Not at all! If you want to watch, you are very welcome to come along at 8 pm.

Do I need to be funny to play?

Absolutely not. Improv can be all kinds of things, and funny is just one of them. Come be soulful, dramatic, or weird. All styles are welcome.

What happens after the jam?

Firstly, some slaps on the back and thank-yous. Then you grab your drink of choice and after the break, a group of AndAlso teachers, guests, and students will make stuff up for you. Sit back and enjoy, you earned it.

How can I communicate any boundaries or requests?

If there is anything we can do to make your evening easier and more pleasant, you can tell us when you book, email us in confidence at hello@andalsoimprov.com, or let us know when you arrive. Any information you share with us will only be shared with the jam leader.

This show features: PGraph

Parallelogramophonograph (Kareem Badr, Kaci Beeler, Roy Janik, and Valerie Ward) has been performing together for over 20 years and 1500 shows (and counting!). Fiercely dedicated to the craft and art of improvised theatre, PGraph has held a weekly show in Austin since 2006. Intrigued by the challenge of telling fantastic, fully-improvised stories together as an ensemble, PGraph spent years developing original formats and studying scripted theatre, improv, and storytelling. They've toured the country and the world performing and teaching their unique brand of improv with ensemble appearances in over 65 cities in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UK.

Renowned for their theatricality, playfulness, and hive-mind-like ensemble, their goal with every show is to push both themselves and the art of improvisation to new and dizzying heights while taking the audience along for a joyous ride.

PGraph regularly performs at The Hideout Theatre in Austin, Texas. Their book on narrative improv, "Do It Now", is for sale on their website (http://www.pgraph.com) as well as digitally on Amazon.
