In Our Prime was the brainchild of Paul Normandin. Paul met Ryan Hill and Gloria Bankler at an Elective at The Hideout Theatre entitled Andy is Mean to You, wherein Hideout Education Director Andy Crouch would give very direct feedback to students. Soon after, Paul approached Gloria and Ryan with his idea for a troupe that would perform extremely grounded, even dramatic, improv with very little focus on comedy. The troupe was briefly named It'll Come to Us until the name In Our Prime was decided on due to the older-than-average age of the cast and the primeness of their number (three). The trio performed a debut show at the Hideout.
Ryan was a teaching assistant for Hideout Theatre owner Jessica Arjet at the time. When he told her about the troupe she asked if she could play with them. Fifteen minutes after a very successful second show with Jessica guesting, the troupe asked her to join permanently.

They have a regular monthly slot in The Free Fringe at The Hideout Theatre and have also performed a month-long Threefer run there.
