'''Lazer Wolf''' is an musical improv troupe that grew out of a [[Merlin Works]] improvised singing class.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
The troupe grew out of a cohort of improvisers that went through the entire [[Merlin Works]] improvised singing curriculum in the first half of 2015. [[Shana Merlin]] taught their Improvised Singing 101 class and [[Michael Ferstenfeld]] taught their Improvised Singing 201 and 301 classes. After their graduation showcase they decided to form a troupe.<br />
<br />
The name '''Lazer Wolf''' came from the name of a fictional band improvised in a game of "Greatest Hits" that took place in their 101 class. [[Leyla Cohlmia]] and [[Rachel Creason]] were '''Lazer Wolf''' and they would howl at the end of every song. Since then the whole group has adopted the name, and the howl. It's possible that the name is a subconscious reference to the character "Lazar Wolfe" in the musical "Fiddler on the Roof" as '''Lazer Wolf''' leans towards classic musical theater.<br />

'''Ryan Hill''' is an improv performer and founding member of the grounded troupe [[In Our Prime]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Ryan dabbled in theater in high school and college. In the aughts he performed with Austin vintage radio drama troupe, ''The Violet Crown Radio Players'' and started the ''Chicken Fried Radio'' comedy podcast with his friend Toby Heidel, but his experience of improv was limited to enjoying reruns of ''[[wikipedia:Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]''<br />
<br />
In 2011 he was telecommuting at the Hideout Coffee House and ran into an old friend, [[Thedward Blevins]], who was attending improv class. Thedward introduced Ryan to Hideout Education Director [[Andy Crouch]]. After accepting Thedward's invitation to a Thursday evening of watching improv, Ryan attended twelve hours of [[The 42-Hour Improv Marathon]]. Somewhere in the wee hours of Saturday morning, he realized with a jolt of fear that he had discovered a new passion that could not be ignored.<br />
<br />
In June, 2011 he started classes with Crouch at [[The Hideout Theatre]]. He completed the Hideout curriculum in 2012. [[Roy Janik]], [[The Hideout Theatre]] co-owner, was his teacher for the upper levels. He also took classes at [[The Institution Theater]].<br />
<br />
Ryan has been a TA for adult and teen improv classes at [[The Hideout Theater]]; he has coached [[Four Stories Tall]], a teen improv troupe. He produced [[The 44-Hour Improv Marathon]] and produced [[The 45-Hour Improv Marathon]] with [[Jessie Pascarelli]].<br />
<br />
He is also a musician and has played for [[I Love You So Much]] with the band [[Tiny Cute Trio]] and [[Fuck It's Hot]] solo. He is also a frequent musical improviser substitute for [[Indigo Shift]].<br />

Ryan Hill is an improv performer and founding member of the grounded troupe [[In Our Prime]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Ryan dabbled in theater in high school and college. In the aughts he performed with Austin vintage radio drama troupe, ''The Violet Crown Radio Players'' and started the ''Chicken Fried Radio'' comedy podcast with his friend Toby Heidel, but his experience of improv was limited to enjoying reruns of ''[[wikipedia:Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]''<br />
<br />
In 2011 he was telecommuting at the Hideout Coffee House and ran into an old friend, [[Thedward Blevins]], who was attending improv class. Thedward introduced Ryan to Hideout Education Director [[Andy Crouch]]. After accepting Thedward's invitation to a Thursday evening of watching improv, Ryan attended twelve hours of [[The 42-Hour Improv Marathon]]. Somewhere in the wee hours of Saturday morning, he realized with a jolt of fear that he had discovered a new passion that could not be ignored.<br />
<br />
In June, 2011 he started classes with Crouch at [[The Hideout Theatre]]. He completed the Hideout curriculum in 2012. [[Roy Janik]], [[The Hideout Theatre]] co-owner, was his teacher for the upper levels. He also took classes at [[The Institution Theater]].<br />
<br />
Ryan has been a TA for adult and teen improv classes at [[The Hideout Theater]]; he has coached [[Four Stories Tall]], a teen improv troupe. He produced [[The 44-Hour Improv Marathon]] and is currently co-producing [[The 45-Hour Improv Marathon]] with [[Jessie Pascarelli]].<br />
<br />
He is also a musician and has played for [[I Love You So Much]] with the band Tiny Cute Trio and [[Fuck It's Hot]] solo. He is also a frequent musical improviser substitute for [[Indigo Shift]].<br />

'''''Risen''''' is a long-form improv show inspired by ''[[wikipedia:World War Z|World War Z]]''.<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
Each week, an acclaimed Austin actor will perform an edited selection from ''[[wikipedia:World War Z|World War Z]]'' by Max Brooks, sharing a their firsthand account of the zombie apocalypse. Each monologue will be from a different part of the world and a different level of outbreak.<br />
<br />
The monologists included: [[Sarah Marie Curry]], [[Leng Wong]], [[Kevin Miller]], and [[James Leary]].<br />
<br />
The improv cast will then do a full length narrative based on the monologue they just heard. This will take us anywhere from China to Antarctica, island post war economy to the Paris underground, through the panic of the outbreak to the front lines of the Z War and back again. Each week a new world, a new story, a new tale of survival or decimation.<br />
<br />
[[Jason Vines]] is in charge of makeup effects for the show. [[Bryan Curry]] did scoring and sound effects, and [[Mark Shoemaker]] ran lights.<br />

'''''The Care Bear Stare''''' was an improv format inspired by the Care Bears cartoons and the planning for the [[44 Hour Improv Marathon]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
In a fit of zeal, first time producer [[Ryan Hill]] posted on his Facebook wall that he would do anything the Marathon players asked. [[Lisa Jackson]] seized the opportunity and said that she wanted to see her friends, [[Roy Janik]] and [[John Ratliff]], and her husband, [[Josh Gill]], in Care Bear costumes. In the spirit of improv, Ryan and Roy (the Artistic Director of the Marathon) decided to make it happen.<br />
<br />
John and Josh were quickly on-board and [[Cat Drago]], who regularly watched the entire Marathon, was also recruited to play a Care Bear. Ryan did some research and concocted a skeleton of a format with Roy, where the Care Bears assisted the Marathon players (playing heightened versions of themselves) with their problems. The Care Bear characters chosen by the players were more grown up and comical, playing off of the extreme schmaltz of the actual Care Bear cartoons. Ryan designed and purchased custom t-shirts with some of the Care Bears belly symbols on them. He also procured fake bear ears to round out the minimalist costumes.<br />
<br />
The show in hour 40 of the [[44 Hour Improv Marathon]] was well-received. [[Michael Joplin]], a Marathon player, was also recruited to be a Care Bear. Roy sported a shirt with a smiling sun on it (originally Funshine Bear's symbol), and played "Desperately Cheerful Bear," who always thought things were going just great, no matter how bad they got. Josh wore a shirt with a crescent moon on it (originally Bedtime Bear's symbol) and played "Blaze Bear," who explained in detail how to use marijuana and hash to assist in dealing with problems. Michael Joplin had a rainbow symbol (originally Cheer Bear's symbol) on his shirt and played "Gay Bear," who worked out a lot and solved problems through dating. Cat wore a shirt with a rain cloud symbol (originally Grumpy Bear's symbol) and played "My Parents Didn't Love Me Enough Bear." John wore the shirt with a heart on it (originally Tenderheart Bear's symbol) and played "Rationalize Everything Until It Gets Better Bear." [[Kaci Beeler]] commented, "It was way better than it had any right to be."<br />
<br />
A second show is planned for the [[The 45-Hour Improv Marathon]]. [[Kareem Badr]] and [[Lisa Jackson]] have been added into the array of Care Bears. Some Care Bear characters will reprise their roles from the previous year, some have pre-meditated their characters, and some will make theirs up on the spot. There are new t-shirts, a few custom designed for specific characters, and new ears.<br />

'''''History Under the Influence''''' was an improv show inspired by the YouTube/Comedy Central series ''Drunk History''.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
''History Under the Influence'' started out as a ''Free Fringe'' format. It was proposed by [[Kevin Miller]] and played in the [[The Free Fringe]] on 3/20/14 with a cast of [[Ryan Hill]], [[Jillian Summar]], [[Bridget Brewer]], [[David Lampe]], [[Caeriel Crestin]], [[Mitchell Deane]], [[Peter Rogers]], and [[Kevin Miller]]. The cast was recruited from a post on [[Roy Janik]]'s Facebook wall.<br />
<br />
After a very successful Free Fringe show, Kevin submitted the show for a month-long run in ''[[The Threefer]]'' at [[The Hideout Theater]], somewhat tongue-in-cheek, not expecting it to be scheduled. Roy had been looking to shake up the ''Threefer'' and doubled-down on Kevin's dare. The first show in the Threefer coincided with a final tech and dress rehearsal for ''[[Hurly Burly]]''. Four of the original Free Fringe players were also cast in ''Hurly Burly'', so the first week was filled with substitute improvisers including [[Ruby Willmann]], etc.<br />
<br />
''History Under the Influence'' played five sold-out shows at the Hideout in May of 2014. It was regarded by the cast as an effortless format where comedy happened naturally. Audience response was extremely positive.<br />
<br />
In June of 2014, Kevin took an impromptu trip to Tampere, Finland, where he had performed in 2013 with [[Zarzamora]]. While there he performed History Under the Influence with a European cast.<br />

'''''History Under the Influence''''' was an improv show inspired by the YouTube/Comedy Central series ''Drunk History''.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
''History Under the Influence'' started out as a ''Free Fringe'' format. It was proposed by [[Kevin Miller]] and played in the [[The Free Fringe]] on 3/20/14 with a cast of [[Ryan Hill]], [[Jillian Summar]], [[Bridget Brewer]], [[David Lampe]], [[Caeriel Crestin]], [[Mitchell Deane]], [[Peter Rogers]], and [[Kevin Miller]]. The cast was recruited from a post on [[Roy Janik]]'s Facebook wall.<br />
<br />
After a very successful Free Fringe show, Kevin submitted the show for a month-long run in ''[[The Threefer]]'' at [[The Hideout Theater]], somewhat tongue-in-cheek, not expecting it to be scheduled. Roy had been looking to shake up the ''Threefer'' and doubled-down on Kevin's dare. The first show in the Threefer coincided with a final tech and dress rehearsal for ''[[Hurly Burly]]''. Four of the original Free Fringe players were also cast in ''Hurly Burly'', so the first week was filled with substitute improvisers including [[Ruby Willmann]], .<br />
<br />
''History Under the Influence'' played five sold-out shows at the Hideout in May of 2014. It was regarded by the cast as an effortless format where comedy happened naturally. Audience response was extremely positive.<br />
<br />
In June of 2014, Kevin took an impromptu trip to Tampere, Finland, where he had performed in 2013 with [[Zarzamora]]. While there he performed History Under the Influence with a European cast.<br />
