	PARALLELOGRAMOPHONOGRAPH/GET UP Thursdays 8:00pm at Coldtowne Theater Two troupes who love to tell good stories. Parallelogramophonograph presents a very special episode of a fully-improvised After School Special Thursday nights at 8:00 at the ColdTowne Theater. Get Up will be telling compelling, two-person stories. Expect multiple characters, quick edits, and sophisticated comedy as they make up a complete story on the spot. Check out these reviews: Regarding Parallelogramophonograph: "we agreed in all honesty that the parallelogramophonograph show we saw on thursday was easily funnier, more interesting, original and professional than the improv we saw at second city in the windy city." - Audience Member "Yo Afterschoolers. You rocked the towne last nite for shizzle. . . .I'd give you Kudos, but I don't know what they are. So, many onion rings to you! And free refills on your Dr. Peppers!" - Jerm Pollet from The Total Foxes and the Sinus Show Regarding Get Up: "Performers Shannon McCormick and Shana Merlin hilariously created impromptu scenarios. Moving seamlessly vocally and physically into various characters, the duo skillfully initiated and resolved absurd situations under the ticking clock." --Austin Chronicle February 4, 2005
