How to Sign Up for Improv Classes at The Hideout Theatre

The Hideout Theatre lists its upcoming classes on its website, and registration runs through the site's checkout system. You can start with a free 90-minute introductory class or go straight into Level One. Because classes can sell out — the site showed two Level One sessions marked "Sold Out!" — it's worth registering as soon as you pick a date. The listings below come from the site's current schedule, so confirm details on the site before you commit.

What classes are available

The Hideout's improv program is built around progressive levels, with a free entry point for newcomers.

• Free Improv Class — a 90-minute taste of the in-person classes. No commitment, and it's the lowest-risk way to see whether the teaching style works for you.
• Level One — the starting point of the paid class track, for actors, comedians, and anyone else who wants to develop a creative voice.
• Kids Classes, Camps & Shows — a separate track that brings improv to younger students.
• The Hideout At Work — corporate training that applies improv's collaboration approach, delivered to companies around the country.

If your goal is simply to try improv, the free class is the logical first step. If you already know you want the full progression, Level One is where the sequence begins.

Upcoming dates from the current schedule

Two things stand out here. First, the free classes are the ones still open, which makes them the practical entry point if you're deciding right now. Second, the sold-out Level One sessions show that the paid classes fill up — so if a future Level One date appears, treat early registration as the default rather than a precaution.

How to register

1. Go to the Hideout Theatre website and open the classes section. The homepage surfaces "Upcoming Classes" alongside "Upcoming Shows," and a "View Full Schedule" link leads to the complete list.
2. Pick a class and date. Note the level, the day and time, and the instructor if one is listed.
3. Proceed to checkout. The site uses a checkout page for registration, with Stripe as the payment platform. This is where you complete sign-up for a paid class.
4. Confirm your spot. After checkout, you should have a registration confirmation. If a class shows "Sold Out!", that session is closed — choose another date or join the free class instead.

The free class may follow a different path than the paid checkout, since there's no payment involved. Check the listing for that specific session to see how it handles sign-up.

Practical notes before you register

• Location: Shows and classes are now at 5555 N Lamar Blvd, Unit B103 — an intimate 35-seat boutique theater. The site notes free parking, and gives the landmark "turn left at the Goodwill, next to GrassIron Gym."
• Class sizes are small by design. A 35-seat theater means limited capacity, which is consistent with how quickly the Level One sessions sold out.
• Pricing isn't listed in the material here. The site has a checkout page and uses Stripe, but no class prices appear in the available information — check the individual class listing for cost.
• The free class is 90 minutes. That's enough to get a feel for the format without a full-term commitment.

A sensible sequence

If you're new to improv, register for a free class first — the 9/27 or 10/4 session — and use it to judge whether you want the Level One track. If you're already decided, watch for the next Level One date and register early, since the most recent ones filled. Either way, verify the current schedule on the site before registering, as dates and availability change.
