Do your shows have assigned seats or are they General Admission?
All of our shows are General Admission. We will start seating around 10 minutes before showtime. If you have special requirements and would like more time to be seated, or need to sit closer for vision- or hearing- related concerns, please arrive a half hour before show time and let our box office person know. We will be happy to accommodate you.
Where do I park?
Our new location has tons of free parking and a giant parking lot. No more parking blues. We are located at 5555 N Lamar Blvd B103, Austin, TX 78751. Suite B103 around the corner from the Goodwill on the left next to Grass Iron Gym. (We had to leave our downtown location after 26 years at the end of March 2026.)
What are your age restrictions?
There is no minimum age to get into the theater. You don’t have to be 18 or 21 to attend one of our performances.
What age are your shows appropriate for?
It’s improv, and different every time, so we cannot give you an exact estimate, but our shows are usually PG-13 in content. Our evening shows are still for adults and not meant for children. They may contain harsh language and innuendo. If an evening show is family-friendly, it will be stated in the description for the show on our website. If you would like a recommendation or further information about the possible content or themes in a show beforehand, feel free to e-mail our Artistic Director Roy Janik at roy@hideouttheatre.com. That said, anyone is welcome to bring younger patrons to our theatre, but use your own discretion. When we have family shows, those shows are rated G.
How long are your shows?
Our shows are either an hour long or about an hour and a half each. No show is over 2 hours in length.
Are you wheelchair accessible?
We have a small 35-40 seat boutique theater at the moment that IS wheelchair accessible. For more information and requests for space ahead of time (highly recommended) contact Roy Janik our Artistic Director at roy@hideouttheatre.com.
Should I buy tickets online or wait to buy them in person?
We recommend buying tickets online in advance. Some shows sell out very quickly, and there is no additional charge for purchasing tickets online.
Can I bring food & drinks into the theater?
We welcome you to bring your food and drinks from our concessions booth into the theater.
Do I need to bring a print-out of my ticket receipt?
No. We only need your name at the box office to claim your tickets.
I have a free ticket, how do I use it online?
You cannot use a free ticket online. If you absolutely want to see a show, we recommended buying tickets beforehand online, as we have intimate theaters and shows tend to sell-out. If a show sells out, a free ticket cannot get you into a show. If a show is not sold-out when you present the ticket at the box office 30 minutes before the show, your ticket will get you in for free (not valid on special events).
How much are your tickets?
The price varies per show, but the cost for our usual shows is anywhere from Free to $20. Special event shows may cost more. Tickets purchased online do not have any additional processing or convenience fees.
I heard The Hideout is awesome, is this true?
Yes.
