Dinner Theater
Improvised One-Act Play

You Bring the Dinner, We'll Bring the Theatre

Parallelogramophonograph presents, for one night only, a unique take on the oft-dreaded concept of dinner theater. Inspired by dishes brought by the audience, PGraph will give you a glimpse into the holiday traditions of an improvised family. Watch as a holiday meal brings out the best--and worst--in PGraph's fictional family.

PGraph has invited some of their favorite improvisers in town to guest star in this one-time event. Audience members are highly encouraged to bring an entree or side dish for use in the performance.

Come watch us create the joy and stress of a holiday dinner on stage before your eyes. There will be an after-party to consume all of the show's leftovers.

Parallelogramophonograph has been performing together for over two years. They have performed around the country, at numerous venues around Austin, and were nominated for the B. Iden Payne award for Outstanding Improv Ensemble. 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.
