Going Down this Weekend: Chicago’s Jason Chin, Cuticity, New Level 1 Class and our new fridge!

Jason Chin teaches at one of the most famous theaters in the country (Improv Olympic in Chicago) and he’s about to add a sweet line to his resume. This weekend he invades Texas, first appearing at our sister theater, the Dallas Comedy House, then trekking down to Austin for a pair of shows Saturday night (8:00 and 9:30p) as well as a workshop Sunday afternoon. (Our improv blog had the inside scoop on this event waay back, so maybe you should stay up with it!)

New show New time alert! Our Thursday action now hits at 9:30p and this week we’re debuting our new form troupe Cuticity! We’ve also got a brand new fridge, WOWZAS!

All of this action is insane, we know, but we’ve also got one more important thing on the grill. Our level 2 improv class starts this Tuesday and runs from 6:30-8:00p, so if you’re down with getting down with some sweet Austin improv classes (and you’ve got a little experience already under that belt) then contact us! If you’re totally new to the game, this Saturday from 5:30-7:30 kicks off our latest level 1 journey!

Parking

It’s so easy to park at The New Movement. Both Rosewood and Chicon have street parking for miles (literally, we think). Get the spot right in front of the theater doors and you get bragging rights all class long.

Cap Metro

Good for you, fellow bus rider! If you’re coming from downtown or east of Airport Blvd., the #2 will land you right in front of us. If you’re coming from anywhere else, chances are you’re near a #21, #22 or #320, and all of those will do the same (the 320 includes a 5 minute walk but walking is cool, right?).

Bicycle

We’ve got your back, bike rider. Chicon recently added bike lanes and the Nubian Queen Lola has some pretty fantastic bike racks out front. And if you’re riding your bike in the rain for some reason we’d love to keep it dry inside the theater!
