A night of true stories, documentary films, photography, and radio from some of our favorite writers, performers, and musicians. Unrecorded, live onstage.
Pop-Up Magazine is a live magazine, created for a stage, a screen, and a live audience. Each evening is unique, but here are a few things to look forward to: Some of the country’s most interesting writers, filmmakers, photographers, radio producers, and illustrators share new, true stories onstage. Stories come to life on a giant screen filled with photographs, films, illustrations, and animations. Story soundtracks are composed and performed live onstage by Magik*Magik Orchestra. Curious, creative people come to see old friends and meet new ones. Venues like BAM Howard Gilman Opera House in New York, Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, and The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles. Performers and audience members swap stories over drinks after the show.
[Please note that there is also a first showing of this event on the 13th.]

From Pop-Up Magazine’s about page:
A small group of us decided to create a “live magazine.” Writers, radio producers, photographers, filmmakers, and illustrators would perform new, mostly reported stories in all kinds of media mixed together. Stories about science, politics, pop culture, sports, social issues, music, business, art, crime, technology, food, and more. The night would unfold like a classic general-interest magazine, and end with the cast and the audience mingling at the lobby bar. Nothing would be recorded. To see it, you had to be there.
