Austin Secrets: Improv Show

I am in a new improvised theater show at The Hideout starting in January (running through Feb). I re-posted most of this information from the official press release:

This show is about you.

Your stories. Your fears. Your triumphs. Your failures.

Your secrets.

There is a movement afoot… a movement that celebrates the power of everyday lives, and which proclaims that the memories we hold within our hearts are the most powerful stories we can tell.

You can see it alive in projects like PostSecret, Mortified, Found Magazine, Storycorps, and This American Life, all of which take our lives and reflect them back to us respectfully, humorously, and sincerely.

That is where Austin Secrets takes its motivation. In every show we’ll use improvisation to explore secrets anonymously submitted by you and other Austinites. Serious secrets will be treated with proper respect, and more lighthearted secrets will be a chance to cut loose, so expect a mix of drama, comedy, and everything in between.

There are a few ways to share your secrets… The easiest way is directly below, via this contact form. There are also blank postcards available at The Hideout and other cool places around town. Feel free to make your own, as well.

You can drop your secret off at the box office of The Hideout, or mail it to:

Austin Secrets
The Hideout Theatre
617 Congress Ave.
Suite 201
Austin, TX 78701

Tip-wise, just be brief, legible, sincere… and feel free to treat it as a mini art project. For ideas, visit PostSecret.com

Visit the The Hideout Theatre official show page to submit a secret online. It’s completely anonymized, so no worries. Not even the staff members can see who sent it.
