Austin/Austin (said Austin and Austin) is a duo of friends Ryan Austin and Quinn Buckner with the conscious goal of creating a long term troupe capable of doing regular shows and attending festivals. The duo was conceptualized in early 2014 (earliest email they can find is from 1/16/14) when after many months of throwing around the name "Austin and Austin" they had their first rehearsal and confirmed wanting to start a duo. The name Austin/Austin comes from Quinn Buckner's first name (Austin) and Ryan Austin's last name.
Format
Current Formats
Don't Worry About it
Basic montage with the stipulation that each scene end with the phrase "Don't Worry About It" as organically as possible. Its the goal that the audience (and maybe even players) become so engaged in the scene that they forget the phrase is coming.
Dungeon Masters
Montage set in a fantasy world that gets created at the top of the show with a Mad Libs style narration.
Other Formats
Two Lost Brothers
More grounded narrative in which Ryan and Quinn play two brothers that become lost in a place decided at the top of the show. Potentially a mono-scene depending on if the brothers are forced to split up. To grab the suggestion they inverse the classic "audience yells out something and the troupe picks something they like" standard for Ryan rambling off locations that they haven't been to yet and the audience picking what they like.

"Austin/Austin is the joining of two friends whose goal is to try everything and become the best they can be while having as much fun as possible. Ryan Austin is the group's debonair lady killer providing grounded scene work and an unstoppable positive energy. Quinn Buckner has been performing since 2009 and brings to the table an eye for support, an abundance of physicality, and a pension for fun. Ryan and Quinn have separately been to festivals from Out of Bounds to Improvaganza in Hawaii and have done numerous mainstages at the Hideout Theatre as well as shows all around Austin. "
