Improv Comedy Legend Miles Stroth Playing

also be in Austin to
host a weekend of workshops.

Stroh will spin yarns and
perform in the monologue-based improv comedy show Stool Pigeon at
8 p.m. on the 24th. Then at 10 p.m., he will appear with a cast
of former students - The Frank Mills - performing his signature
form, the Deconstruction.
A classic long form format
of improvisational comedy, the Deconstruction starts with one
long scene, followed by shorter scenes that connect to the
first scene through characters, environment and themes. The
source scene is then deconstructed and revisited.
Stroh began his study
of improvisation in the Fall of 1989, when he was accepted by
the famed Second City Theater in Chicago. He was a
founding member of the seminal improv team, The Family, and has
performed in more than 1,000 long-form shows.
He has also created - or
had a hand in creating - many of the long-forms of improv
comedy that play around the country. His has also
appeared on Comedy Central's "Crossballs" and
"RENO 911."
Tickets for shows
are $5. For more information and reservations, call (512)
