The Hideout Theatre presents Nothing and Everything: Improvised Anton Chekhov Plays, a series of boundary-pushing improvisational theater. The original cast, featuring many of Austin’s most experienced improvisers, reunite to create brand new stories of idle, turn-of-the-century provincial Russian lives.

Nothing and Everything will explore new Chekhovian worlds, in which nothing seems to happen except the timeless struggles of day-to-day life: love, fear, longing, suffering, happiness, and death. Starting with details provided by the audience, an estate of people with real hopes and fears will emerge into a full night of comedy and tragedy.
