‘Pop-up Magazine’ Brings The Time-Honored Tradition Of Storytelling To The Stage

“Pop-up Magazine” is an evening of live story-telling accompanied by illustrations, photography, animation, and an original score performed live on stage. There are no recordings and no publications. Nothing is captured. It is simply a moment shared with the audience.

“City Lights” producer Summer Evans spoke with “Pop-up Magazine” co-host and producer, Anna Martin who explained the selection process for the show.

“We’re accepting pitches from journalists, writers, visual artists, photographers, radio-makers, and filmmakers. All of their work is super different, and we think that’s what makes a ‘Pop-Up’ show exciting,” Martin said. “We look for stories that can really come alive in a variety of different mediums. We think the best ‘Pop-Up’ stories work when the visuals and the audio and the presence of the story-telling on stage all work together.”
