Shows for the Whole Family

Get ready for a fantastical, whimsical improv show where magical creatures solve mysteries! Gnome Detectives is an improv show created with the whole family in mind!
We’ll use your suggestions to help us create the show: what is the mystery? Where will our heroes go? Who will they meet? It’s a film noir mystery with a cast of mystical creatures: elves, sprites, fairies and trolls! And of course: GNOMES! It’s Gnome Gnoir!
After each scene we’ll write a clue on the board. At the end of the show, we still can’t figure it out, so we ask the audience to help us solve it.
Then we “show” the crime following the audience’s solution!
All we need is an audience full of gum shoes (the curly shoed kind!) to show us the way! That’s you! Join us!

Sunday at 4:00 pm

Come out and enjoy a show that you help create!

About The Show!

Every Sunday at Hideout Kids, improvisors act silly, kids laugh loudly, and parents watch happily as a new and unique story unfolds biased on the suggestions of the kids in the audience. Some of our favorite audience quotes are:

“That was so much fun!” – Kid.
“Thanks, we’ll be back next week.” – Grown-up
“I laughed so hard my sides hurt!” – Kid
“You all are amazing!” – Grown-up.

Hideout Kids (formerly The Flying Theater Machine) has been tickling the funny bones of Austin Children since 2006. “I created [the show] as a way to bring improvisation to kids in Austin,” says Hideout Owner Jessica Arjet. “Kids gain confidence from jumping on stage, and parents get to see their children in a positive light. Laughter brings people together, so what could be better than offering a way for families to laugh together?”

“We had a great time. The actors frequently stop and ask the audience for ideas and then the story takes off in a completely new direction, but still makes sense. The quick witted humor is excellent, yet remains clearly G rated. Very good for families and children.” – KidEvents.com

P.S. We also offer improv classes for kids!
