A new local magazine, Austin Wide Open, has a feature article about improv at the Hideout. Here’s an excerpt about Merlin-Works:

Another veteran performer, Shana Merlin has
performed with numerous troupes including
Paranoias, The Oxymorons and ultimately with Sean
Hill’s Austin Theatresports. When Hill first opened
The Hideout and started The Heroes of Comedy,
Shana managed the theatre and served as dean of the
school where she devised curriculum and handled
registration and teaching. Merlin left The Hideout to
form her own company, Merlin-Works, using
improv to provide corporate training for businesses
and organizations (www.merlin-works.com). She
also performs with partner Shannon McCormick in
“Get Up,” their 24 minute parody of the popular television
series “24.”
