Ryan Austin is a well-dressed improviser who works mostly with The Hideout Theatre.
History
Ryan began improv classes at The Hideout Theatre in May 2011. He was completely unaware of long form narrative improv before seeing his first show at the Hideout and fell in love instantly. He graduated with a BFA in screenwriting and that love of story has kept him fully engaged in improv storytelling. He joined Local Genius Society in January 2012 and has performed in numerous festivals with them, including Hawaii's Improvaganza Festival of Improv where they performed their aptly retired Beach Cops format.
He began directing improv in August of 2012 when Ruby Willmann handed down the host/director role of The Fancy-Pants Mashup to him. He has since become a director for Maestro and Assistant Directed the 2013 TheatreSports (mainstage run) at the Hideout.
He is known for often dressing up.
