The Wheel is the rotating set of Friday 8pm shows at The Hideout Theatre.
History
The Wheel was brought into the Hideout schedule in September 2010 as a replacement for The Double Barrel.
The Schedule
The Wheel rotates through the same four shows every month, with show number n happening on the nth Friday of the month. Sometimes this schedule is thrown off -- say, if SXSW is renting the theater on the 3rd Friday, then 2x4 and Maestro RAW get bumped forward a week. Occasionally, there's an empty "fifth Friday", which is then scheduled at the Hideout's discretion.
2010-2011 Schedule
In its original incarnation, the Wheel's schedule looked like this:
- Week 1: The Fancy-Pants Mash-Up
- Week 2: Pick Your Own Path
- Week 3: The Nightmare Video Project
- Week 4: Dubbed Indemnity
Weeks two through four were double-billed with The Lottery.
Early-2012 Schedule
In January 2012, the Wheel was revamped to look like this:
- Week 1: The Fancy-Pants Mash-Up
- Week 2: Pick Your Own Path
- Week 3: The Narrative Improv Jam
- Week 4: Maestro Raw
The Lottery was retired from the schedule. Pick Your Own Path went to a double bill, with two consecutive stories in that performance slot.
In place of The Lottery, The Hideout added a dedicated night for newer improvisors with Maestro RAW.
2012-2013 Schedule
In July 2012, The Narrative Improv Jam was retired and replaced with The TV Set.
- Week 1: The Fancy-Pants Mash-Up
- Week 2: Pick Your Own Path
- Week 3: The TV Set
- Week 4: Maestro Raw
2013-Present Schedule
In May 2013, The TV Set was retired and replaced with 2x4, a performance slot devoted to duos.
- Week 1: The Fancy-Pants Mash-Up
- Week 2: Pick Your Own Path
- Week 3: 2x4
- Week 4: Maestro Raw
