Parallelogramophonograph is a theatre company based in Austin, TX that improvises plays. http://www.hideouttheatre.com/shows/PGraphPresents
Since their premier in November of 2005, Parallelogramophonograph has been more than just any improv troupe. Fiercely dedicated to the craft and art of improvised theatre, PGraph has held a weekly show non-stop since 2006. Early on in their time together Kaci Beeler, Kareem Badr, Roy Janik, and Valerie Ward knew they wanted to do something different onstage. Intrigued by the challenge of telling f
antastic fully-improvised stories together as an ensemble, PGraph spent years developing original formats and studying the art of theatre, improv, and storytelling. They’ve toured the country and the world performing and teaching their unique brand of improv with appearances in over 60 cities in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UK. When not on tour, they perform every Thursday at 8pm at The Hideout Theatre in Downtown Austin, TX.
All the people in this photo will be in the Parallelogramophonograph show tonight! Because while Kareem is away on a project tonight, Margaret and J.R. will be guesting with us.
8pm at The Hideout Theatre

Our 2nd show at the 13th annual Sarasota Improv Festival at the Florida Studio Theatre was inspired by the title “Untamed Land” (the audience might have said “Untamed Gland” so we made sure to incorporate that as well) and we did a cheeky and adventurous 1960s style American TV Western!
We even managed to finish TWO puzzles while on our trip and then it was back to the airport to head home to Austin. A whirlwind of a trip! Thank you, Sarasota! Wonderful as always and great to be back ❤️
Thanks to all of our Sarasota Improv Festival workshop attendees! We had a blast teaching our character archetype and villain workshops this morning and afternoon.
First show at the 13th annual Sarasota Improv Festival at the Florida Studio Theatre complete! A small town devilish horror(comedy) inspired by the title “Field of Horrors” with a super playful audience who wanted both happy and murderous endings for various characters.
Sarasota! We will be BACK teaching & performing at the Sarasota Improv Festival at the Florida Studio Theatre THIS WEEKEND - Friday & Saturday. 🎭🌊
Can’t wait to do some improvised theatre in your gorgeous city!

This improv show followed the adventures of Detective Katie Interesting, and was inspired by "Dirk Gently's Detective Agency," the book Valerie grabbed off the shelf at random at the top of the show.
Miss us? So did we. It's been a whole week and we can't wait to do another show.
Join us at 7:30pm CST for an improvised play of some sort. Last week we were inspired by Isaac Asimov's robot stories. Who knows what tonight will bring?!
