Now a TV show on Austin public access channel 10, "Over the Lege" began as a live sketch comedy show exploring the goings-on in the Texas Legislature.

Directed and hosted by Stephanie Chiarello Noppenberg
Guests have included Wendy Davis, Senator Kirk Watson, Gina Hinojosa, John Moritz, Glen Maxey, Rene Lara, Kathy Miller, Jason Finkleman, and more.

Stage show premiered September 9 2016 at the Institution Theater, Austin, TX

For the first stage show run, we worked for five months to write sketches, craft performances and shape shows addressing the large issues faced by Texans.

For over three years I was part of a sketch group, Comedy Bazaar, that met weekly and performed new live sketch shows each month. We also put on full-length runs of “A Brief History of Magic” at the Salvage Vanguard Theater and ColdTowne Theater, and “A Brief History of Murder” at ColdTowne Theater. We created and honed original material and characters.
