Some Like It Improvised:
Completely Improvised Screwball Comedies

Parallelogramophonograph, named Best Improv Troupe by the Austin Improv Collective, presents the latest in their catalogue of innovative improvisational show formats: Some Like It Improvised. PGraph will go back to our modern comedic roots and perform improvised screwball comedies in the style of 'It Happened One Night', 'Some Like It Hot', and 'Bringing Up Baby.'

'Some Like It Improvised' combines the comedy of mistaken identities, culture clashes, and mismatched couples into a fun night of improvised theatre. Fast-talking female reporters, out-of-touch aristocracy, independent heiresses, and percolating romance in close quarters form the backbone of these screwball plots. PGraph captures all of the charm and nostalgia of the 1930s and '40s romantic comedies and presents hilarious improvised plays that are as heart-warming as FDRs fire-side chats! So scrounge up a couple five-spots, give your favorite dame a ring, and make tracks for 'Some Like It Improvised'!

Parallelogramophonograph has been performing together for over two and a half years. They were recently awarded "Best of Fest" in FronteraFest 2008, and "Best Improv Group" by the Austin Improv Collective. They have performed around the country and at numerous venues around Austin. Through their ongoing Thursday show at ColdTowne Theater, PGraph has continued to create new show formats and push the boundaries of their improvisational skills. Parallelogramophonograph is always playful and funny, yet never afraid to let dramatic moments add the bitter to their sweet improvised stories.
