Pop-Up Magazine brings together the best kinds of creatives—writers, artists, photographers, filmmakers, puppeteers, the list goes on—and puts them onstage to share and discuss their work. All pieces performed at the show are new and unpublished, either created for the event or as part of a larger ongoing project. This means getting a first look at work from some of the biggest names in fiction, photography, film and more—according to former senior editor Pat Walters, “work everyone else will start hearing about a year from now.” Also, nothing is recorded, so everything shared is a one-time only creative experience.

After a few virtual editions, Pop-Up Magazine returns to the Theatre at Ace Hotel this November with a lineup that includes Cord Jefferson, Sudi Green, Jon Mooallem, Shima Oliaee, Ingrid Rojas Contreras, Ben-Alex Dupris and Ian Urbina.
