In Our Prime

Austin

Four Improvised Story Tellers of a "certain age," finding the grounded and real life in our fully made up and improvised tales. From your suggestions, we will explore relationships as old as time with solid and grounded characters often unique yet everyday. Their story will unfold from the interactions discovered in the opening scenes. In Our Prime uses every nuance from the first few offers to find, the all too fleeting, path to the finish. By the end, you will want to know more about what happened "ever since that day. . ."

Paul and Gloria start taking classes at the Hideout in 2010. Paul, Gloria, and Ryan take an elective in 2011. Paul asks Gloria and Ryan to form a troupe. Jessica says she would like to play with us later. In Our Prime has a blast telling dramatic stories with three players. Jessica comes to one rehearsal. IOP performs with special guest Jessica. Five minutes after the show, IOP unanimously goes from a threesome to a foursome! Gloria Rabil Bankler is a film maker, improviser and happily married, mother of Elliot and Quin. Ryan Hill is a gifted improviser, practicing Buddhist and father of an adult son, Dean who Improvises. Jessica Arjet is a 9-year veteran of Improv, co-owner of the Hideout Theatre and mother of two - Katherine and Henry. Paul Normandin is a gifted storyteller, improviser, and happily married, father of an adult daughter, Cindy.
