The traveling show, Pop-Up Magazine has announced the dates for its next tour. If you don’t know about their shows, quick review… Pop-Up Magazine is a live show that combines different types of storytelling. The creators keep most of the show a secret, so the live audience has no idea what to expect.
Amazingly enough, their shows aren’t recorded. So, after it’s over, it can’t be found anywhere else.
Storytellers are accompanied by the band Magik*Magik Orchestra. In the past stories have been accompanied by live sketching, tasty cookies, and scents.
