Austin Poetry Slam Final Stage

Jane Austin Improv, a playful nod to both Jane Austen and Austin, TX, channels the spirit of Jane Austen into a comedy feast! Starting with a single audience suggestion, the cast devises a full-length play on the spot, creating something Jane Austen may have written. Step into a world where the elegance of Regency-era England collides with improv comedy and laugh along as the actors navigate their costumes, horseback riding, complexities of courtship, and the rigid social hierarchy of the early 1800s. 512-217-7334
