Project By
Connected as Tom Booker (2356 friends)
I have been studying and teaching Improvisation since 1986. I've studied at The Second City and IO in Chicago. And I was a Founding Member of Chicago's Annoyance Theater. I taught at The Second City Training Center in Los Angeles from 2001 to 2007. I moved to Austin in 2007 to create an Improv School and Theater. I have been in a few movies, a handful of tv shows and over 80 commercials. I'm a very nice person that is exceptionally good with small animals.
Tom...Congratulations....We look forward to seeing a lot of great talent at the theater....Hope to see you soon....Frank and Debbie Roberts aka "Parents of LuBu"
Tom, this is great. Way to go and thanks to all that contributed. I cannot wait to see what you do with these funds. Makes me miss Austin even more....which may not be possible.
Way to go friends!!!
Happy Birthday Tom! Do you like the present we got you!
Whoo Hooo! Congrats on getting funded :)
Congratulations on meeting the goal!
First, I donated a little because I really like live comedy. Then, I donated a little more because I love Taylor Overstreet, star pupil of the Institution Theater! Happy Birthday, Taylor! And thanks to the Institution Theater for giving her a place to hone her comedy skills.
Prison Sluts unite! (Gideon saved his allowance for you.)
With your talent and energy, this will happen for you and for Austin. We need this for the community. We need more laughter in the world. May you be blessed with all the success you desire. This is great!
Good luck!
The first $100 was from me, but the $87.89 came from the folks who attended the opening night of Dr. Horrible Live! We passed the hat at the end of the show and people loved what we did so much they want to see more! Yay!
Go go go brother Tom!
Way to go, Tom Booker! Now, go and make some funny art for all of us to see. :) xo
