   Parallelogramophonograph's Comedian Bio
BioParallelogramophonograph loves to tell stories. They have used their on-going residency at The ColdTowne Theater to create and experiment with new show concepts. Some of those innovative forms include "After School Improv", "The 1930s", "Family Portrait", and more recently, "French Farce". Pgraph loves to study story structure, playwriting, theatre history, films, regular history, and more to bring new horizons to their improvisation. Pgraph has performed in Out of Bounds, Out of Bounds West, the WaffleFest Improv Festival, The Big Ha! Festival in Omaha, the 2006 Austin Sun Fest, Frontera Fest, and The Improv Variety Pack Invitational in Tulsa. They also perform in and/or direct Maestro at The Hideout Theatre, teach improv classes, produce The Double Barrel Improv Show, create short films, and generally make their presence known in the growing Austin artistic community. They recently were voted "The Best Improv Group in Austin" by the AIC, a collective of all the improvisers in Austin. They also were named "Best of Fest" in Frontera Fest 2008. The members of Parallelogramophonograph take turns sleeping in 2 hour shifts. Parallelogramophonograph performs every Thursday at 8pm at the ColdTowne Theater

This is a shout out to all my friends! If you haven't got a refrigerator magnet with my company info on it yet and you want one, just email me with your name and address and I'll get one right out to you. Or if you already have one and you want another one for a friend, let me know. I want you to know that I appreciate all my friends and feel I have all the best friends on Myspace!

Last night I was lying in bed waiting to fall asleep and I started thinking about that freaking duck and I laughed out loud. Truly a gift from the gods of spontaneity.

Dear Parallelopeople,
We're so glad that you guys took so much from the shows and workshops. Rafe and Tim and I were commenting on the integrity of your work as a community, and it was a pleasure to be immersed in that.
Yeah...Double Down or get blown off the deck I say. Thanks again for having us over and treating us so well.
Truly,
Stephen

Hey Parallelogramophographiles,

Thanks for the very kind note. We thoroughly enjoyed working and hanging out with you guys. I hope that we'll have the opportunity to come out every year, one way or another. Austin and 3 for All are meant to be together!

Stay in touch. We miss you already,

Tim
