The Institution Theater presents RISEN: Improv Inspired by World War Z

Each week, an acclaimed Austin actor will perform an edited selection from World War Z by Max Brooks, sharing a their first­hand account of the zombie apocalypse. Each monologue will be from a different part of the world and a different level of outbreak.

The improv cast will then do a full length narrative based on the monologue they just heard. This will take us anywhere from China to Antarctica, island post war economy to the Paris underground, through the panic of the outbreak to the front lines of the Z War and back again. Each week a new world, a new story, a new tale of survival or decimation.
