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.

In 2023 they were awarded the B. Iden Payne Ethel Hinkley Award for recognizing outstanding original theater in Austin and in 2025 they were a finalist for the Austin Chronicle’s “Best of Austin” awards.

Since 2023 they have maintained a residency at Fallout Theater in Austin Texas and have also been seen on the Impro Amsterdam mainstage (February 2025), in California at SF SketchFest (January 2025), and at Twin Cities Improv Festival in Minneapolis, Minnesota (June 2024) as well as touring around Texas to Station Theater in Houston, Laugh Out Longview Improv Festival, and down in San Antonio, Texas!

Ray Prim and Scott Strickland come together for a special night of songs, stories, and acoustic soul in an intimate, limited-seating setting. Two seasoned Texas songwriters sharing the stage, trading songs, and letting the stories behind the music come to life.

Scott Strickland is a force in modern music, weaving raw emotion and technical brilliance into a sound that transcends genres. Hailing from Houston, Texas, with deep roots in Nacogdoches, Scott's journey from filmmaker to full-time musician is a testament to resilience, passion, and the transformative power of creativity. Now based in Austin, he has become one of the city’s most dynamic performers, crafting a unique blend of rock, pop, and folk with a soulful edge.

Ray Prim. Imagine Ben Harper and Ray Lamontagne heading over to Abbey Road in a Cadillac convertible to pick up John Lennon and Paul McCartney so they can catch the tail end of The Reverend Al Green’s sermon….

Ray Prim is a Singer Soulwriter based in Austin, Texas. Alongside his steady sidekick and backing Vocalist, Mexican Chocolate, his music and live shows take you back to the days when songs were inspiring, meaningful and thought provoking. His tunes are melody-based short stories that anyone can relate to and identify with. It only takes one of his many songs to be instantly hooked. Five words sums it up –

Ear Candy for the Soul..
