Ryan Hill is an improv performer and founding member of the grounded troupe In Our Prime.
History
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 Whose Line Is It Anyway?
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.
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. Ryan is currently studying at The Institution Theater.
Ryan has performed at The Oklahoma Improv Festival and Improvaganza Hawaii with In Our Prime. He has performed at the Dallas Comedy Festival with The Seven Eight Sevens.
Ryan is a teaching assistant for teen improv classes, taught by Jessica Arjet and Andy Crouch, at The Hideout Theatre; he coaches Four Stories Tall, a teen improv troupe; and he is producing The 44-Hour Improv Marathon.
