Innovating Theatre, One Pop Up at a Time

Pop Up Plays is a platform for independent writers and actors, with a focus on BIPOC contemporary stories and underrepresented cultural narratives that reflect the voices of today’s generation.

Our mission is to reimagine theatre and film by introducing new stories, uplifting fresh talent, and bringing productions to unconventional spaces, inspiring both loyal theatre-goers and brand-new audiences.
