The process of creating Pop-Up plays is simple: 6 playwrights stay up all night writing a ten minute play, based on photos of their actors (many of whom they've never met) and random instructions called "curveballs". The next morning, the hot-off-the-press scripts are given 17 local actors and 6 courageous directors to rehearse and memorize in 10 hours. Whatever they come up with premieres in front of a live audience that evening.
Take 6 writers and give them 12 hours to write a ten minute play. Include some random ingredients, some curveballs, and one line chosen by the public. The next day, grab a director and? tons of actors, rehearse those shows and perform them that night at 7:30. That's Pop-Up Plays, popping up for the second year at Town Hall Theater tonight, March 7th at 7:30pm. The whole event takes place in 24 hours, which makes it the freshest theater experience around.
