History

Kaci Beeler began learning and studying improv in 2002 at Westwood High School[2] in North Austin, Texas, which is a Fine Arts Academy[3] within the Round Rock Independent School District. In addition to taking a Comedy/Improv course she auditioned and was cast in The PITS (Premier Improvisational Theater Society) in 2003, an all-student improv troupe led by organizer Philip Aulie. The PITS went on to become Comedic Amoeba and performed three shows at The Hideout Theatre in 2004 and 2005. Comedic Amoeba was coached by Jeremy Sweetlamb before dissembling in July of 2005.

Kaci began performing in Maestro at The Hideout Theatre in June of 2005 and met fellow improvisers Roy Janik, Kareem Badr, Valerie Ward, Andy Crouch, Michael Ferstenfeld, among many others through the Tuesday Night Jam. Kaci moved to Fullerton, CA[4] in August of 2005 to get a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree with an emphasis in Acting at California State University at Fullerton[5].

In December of 2005 Kaci moved back to Austin, Texas after withdrawing from Cal State Fullerton at the end of the Fall Semester. She was asked to join the Austin improv troupe Parallelogramophonograph upon her return and had her first performance with them on December 23rd, 2005, 42 days after the troupe's debut at Wafflefest in November.
